Differently The Same

c5

You’re white.
He’s black.
She’s yellow.
I’m brown.

Different skin
Different hair
Different height
Different sizes
Different but the same specie
…HUMAN

Brown, white, black, yellow
Different religions
But same GOD
…others have none

Different beliefs
But same fears
…same hurts
…same joys

We were born white or black or yellow or brown.
We all live.
… we grow
… we dream
… we triumph
… we fail
… we laugh
… we cry
… we love
… we die

When we die,
we turn to DUST.
… not white
… not black
… not yellow
… not brown
… but GRAY
