Where is my home?

I had one made of bricks,

But pelted stones broke them

And roofs were set ablaze

Where do I belong?

Where is my place?

The fence is short

That divides big time

My leap is high, but

Shorter than my self respect

To succumb under pressure

What do these barbed wire divide?

Two nations with one people,

With hearts (assumingly)

With brains (assumingly)

With souls (assumingly)

What is you

What is me?

Shouldn't it be we?

Us?

Thus giving

A sense of belongingness
