Us Against Them

Many don't get this Many WONT get this And that's what the problem is Because that problem "is" . . . This . . . There is no them, there is no us Because without "them" there can't be an us But we play the blame game And we can't blame us Cause it's got to be them it just can't be us?  So we cuss and discuss  We discuss and then cuss Cause we just can't blame the ones that we all call"us" So at the end of the day, we just play the blame game But the problem remains And it still looks the same And thru language restraints  And moral constraints The cry of my heart still screams "it's a ____ shame!! One Man came  And He took all the blame The "us" and the "them" to Him were the same While we argued and scoffed He took all the shame We spit in His Face and agreed on that day The us and the them found someone to blame Crucify Him Was the theme of that day So we sacrificed Him and we all played the game  The sin of the world on His shoulders laid We looked and agreed we all were the same And then 3 days later He busted our game Our penalty paid He rose up from the grave. Come unto Me is His Heartfelt refrain While religion still screams it's "us" against "them" Republicrats Democrats in their delimm . . . a Masking the real problem. . . .  Honestly . . . It's us against Him And however we play it The cross it still wins He loves all of "us" to Him there's no "them" I hope we finally get that before He calls "us" in.
