The state of our union
is fragile at best.
We’re polarized, fractured
and flawed I confess.

The “wall” we have funded
with distrust and hate
runs right through our nation
dividing our states.

This “wall” of our making
demeans who we are.
It keeps us from hitching
our dreams to a star.

Securing our borders
(while needful and right)
is far less important
than ending this fight.
