Let Us All Unite
United we stand divided we fall
Yet often we do naught but brawl
Stupidly greedily fighting
Than reasonably uniting
Building between us a new wall
United we stand divided we fall
Eager to draw lines in the sand
Rather than clasp the open hand
Driven by selfish greed and hate:
Not cooperate but agitate
United we stand divided we fall
Solitude and downfall our pall
Yet we can embrace variety
Essence and soul of society
As together we can be tall
United we stand divided we fall
Yet often we do naught but brawl
Stupidly greedily fighting
Than reasonably uniting
Building between us a new wall
United we stand divided we fall
Eager to draw lines in the sand
Rather than clasp the open hand
Driven by selfish greed and hate:
Not cooperate but agitate
United we stand divided we fall
Solitude and downfall our pall
Yet we can embrace variety
Essence and soul of society
As together we can be tall
United we stand divided we fall

We'll all get along because we have no choice enslaved to the machine; or because we have ascended the human?

We are heading to the stars, we’ve done this before and we will again, and again and again...

Hope that is a note of hope, and not a case of personal divide. Always an honour to have a word or two from you.

I understand the sentiment but have to disagree somewhat. My spies inform me that some like their hands tied, but only in a case of mutual respect; not of abuse.

I absolutely love this.
It's wonderful
There have been many a quatern in the DU halls of late. Between you Takis, I found my favorite. This is so poignant it oozes relevance from the page.
Thanks for the read.

Beginner's luck then as this is my first Quatern. Though seems the laconic styles are far better than my blathering lengthy prose.

This is punchy. Your mind is on the money and full of a, slightly bitter, hope that people will listen. What a grand construction, as always, V.

This was somewhat inspired by Charlie Chaplin's 'Let us all unite' speech from 'The Great Dictator': maybe the bitter plead in the face of contemporary abominations from that has bled through, or it might just be the sense in this modern time.
