Apples to Apples

Your ancestors fired bullets, buried mines

My forebears dropped bombs, napalm

Apples and oranges locked in fruitless war

Yet, two generations later

We embrace as brothers, neighbors, friends

You describe us as

Apples to apples.

What a miracle,

The sweetness of change in the hearts of men

Seeds grow a lovely orchard, though

Planted in the soil of pain.
