Bridge Builders vs War Mongers

Oh, the gap that we see, it is wide, it is vast

We could build to the middle, we could do it quite fast

But I build from my side, and you build from yours

Yet you won’t lay your beams, you won’t open your doors

You say, “I want power” You say, “I want might”

But where’s the true wisdom in refusing what’s right

We could meet in the middle, bridge that space in between

But you hoard all your bricks, so we stay where we’ve been

For when greed takes the lead, and control fills the air

The bridge cracks and crumbles with none left to care

And what do we find when no bridge has been made

Walls built up higher, where once hope had stayed

Yes, wars are born here, in the greed and the pride

When we can’t build together, standing side by side

And murders are seeded in the soil of disdain

Where bridges are broken, and peace dies in vain

Oh, but we could Yes, we could Build a bridge if we try

But if only one builds, then the other must fly

For one can’t cross over what one can’t construct

A bridge needs both builders, or it’s bound to be stuck

So I build my half, you build yours, that’s the plan

But if you refuse, I will stay where I stand

For bridges need balance, need trust and respect

Without that, it crumbles, a lost architect

And when we fail here, it’s destruction we breed

In the void grows corruption, and festers our greed

With no bridge between us, just a wall that divides

It’s crime, war, and chaos that seep from the sides

So think, as you hoard, and you clamor for more

A bridge waits for builders, or it’s endless war

Let’s build halfway, meet in trust and agree

But without your half, it’s goodbye, not unity
