The Dividing Fence
The grass is not greener on the other side
Or so they say
Funny what those with silver spoon in mouth and bloated pride
Say as they live life leisurely day by day
It’s not for the other side I long
I only ask to change the direction my wind would blow
And to live my life by the lyrics of my own song
And escape the stupidity of their pompous show
We all try to live our life as we will
And only we can change our course
If only for a moment the world would stand still
And stop the dividing fence at its source
Then perhaps society could coexist in spite
Of the prejudice and suspicion that darkens the light

To me, the worst thing in this world is prejudice and that is what this poem is about.
