Divide and rule

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Divide and rule, a policy so well applied,

You will not be able to see it,

Till the time, in pieces, you lie,

No, perpetrators, won't ever cry

They need votes I tell you,

Power is their aim,

Don't call me words

It is your game.

Rulers have gone to their land,

We have learnt the policy for sure,

They divided a foreign land,

We are dividing our own.

They say it's Roman's who used it,

I say we have perfected this time,

For the sake of vote bank,

So what if some people die.

R. A. Jacob
