A Social Studies Lesson at the Middle School Concert

Here we are on these bleachers,
A pair of Koreas. We have the
Same name. The child who's
Playing the flute in the band
On the floor is the island which
Both of us claim. The silence
Is stifling. You've found an
Ally, and I have brought mine.
Though the fighting is over,
An armistice signed, the war
Hasn't ended, it seems.
