This is an original poem I wrote, also in spring 2007, when I was in the 12th grade...
Not So United States
When everyone wants their own agendas accomplished,
We end up in a verbal civil war
The policies are usually moral/religious
And everyone is in “the right.”
What has happened to the side termed “the wrong?”
Is it just the invisible not so noticeable religions?
Christianity seems to be the major factor:
NO Same-Sex marriages! It’s against the Bible!
NO Abortions! You're killing innocent life AND
It’s against the Bible!
Or, my favorite:
WE’RE the chosen land AND the chosen People!
Well, what about the Jews, your predecessors?
What about the Muslims?
What about everyone else?
‘We don’t care! Our way is the ONLY way!’
Sadly, this leads to the morality fights,
And nothing gets done.
Religion (especially in politics) de-unifies.
