Halving what once was one.
Complacency settled as a shroud.
Bonds of harmony charred to ash.

Very unusual prompt given and creative interpretation of that prompt. Fitting title, good flow and verbiage used in these lines.

Beautiful words of truth...deeply moving and so sad...it is a fact of life and how we live...make one feel it all too well...well done.
