THE GREAT DIVIDE

We’ve been through highs together, we’ve been through lows, 
We’ve stunted each other, we’ve forced each other to grow, 
She’s carried our children, I’ve kept us in the black, 
I’ve pushed her to breaking point, and she’s pushed back, 
And you’d be excused for thinking we’ve got it made, 
But when a certain issue gets us in its claws, 
We both go deaf, we both go blind, 
We both betray our hearts and minds, 
In the service of a divisive and damaging cause.
