A dissonant march steps off beat
Some to the drums of others feet
Some off key some off song
Some know the words, yet chant it wrong
—
A dissident march, for a change in key
Solutions to problems, that nobody needs
The rift is growing, agreement depleted
The riffs keep going, often repeated
—
Yet no conversion, no conversation
Ears shut tight, across the nation
You’re one army, in a civil war
Unhinged and unbothered by emotional gore
—
Fingers point innocence proclaimed
Both are wrong, and both to blame
Lives are lost, no ground is gained
In the sunk cost non-zero sum game
—
A tempo of water and notes of oil
Turn up the heat, hearts will boil
Causing chaotic coalescence
Treaties are drawn, but no acquiescence
—
Abdicate your stance for sake of this dance
Harmony symphony, release from a trance
Unity community family and free
Follow the drums and not their feet
