We are one Tree.

Split did it throbbing heart in two.
Pitted did it kin against kin.
Parted in all but heart.
By the wall at the heart of Berlin.

How emotions of every form and kind.
Sacrificed were they at the altar of ideals.
Ideals to rule Man’s mind.
A cult-mandated is greater than Divine.

Yet, Truth won the battle for Time.
Spliced was Germany’s torn heart.
Kin and kindred united in one.
Evil never be victorious for long.

Tear no such wall mankind asunder.
Rule no such ideal over our minds.
From the yoke of cults, we shall be free.
Never must we forget we are one Tree.
