Religion, they say started the divide
Removing men from each others’ side!
The naysayers were not too far away
Racial divide, they said made us pay.
‘Economics’, cried the privileged few
‘Caused the crack’, as money was due!
There were men from the learned lot
Education, is what their pens jot.
The noise grew louder and bolder
As men stood shoulder to shoulder
Only if their views seemed to match
Forming groups, batch after batch.
All until one fine summer day
A small little virus disrupted their way
Forcing them to maintain good distance
Suddenly, no longer were they distant!
