Unity
Why do we walk
on different paths
in a world of sameness?
Choosing to separate
By culture and creed
Excusing it is shameless
Visibly different, but
skin and bone equal
Colors result of geography
Shapes and sizes
varying, and
down to demography
Heartbeat rhythms
And eyes that cry
Bones that will break
The differences minor
When all said and done
We all feel the ache
Blood the same color
Pumping and
yet unknown
Running through
Each other’s veins
A comfort zone
Color blindness
Should be our
only disability
A wedge driven
Between the cultures
causing global volatility
Embracing differences
Seeing the other side
Brings togetherness
Why do we walk
on different paths
in a world of sameness?
