What divides Us by Solape Adetutu Adeyemi I had thought after the war, things would be different I had thought the things which divided us, would bring us back together I had thought the distrust, disunity, the hatred would somehow, be mended Better yet, absolved, expunged I had thought, the killings would stop I had thought, we would find love, again But your arrival instead of succour, brings only grief That wound continually fetters That wound continually deepens The divide is even wider The divide is even worse Copyright 2023 by Solape Adetutu Adeyemi
