We
As humans we are stuck. Making the same mistakes In one form or another, Over and over. Between the push and pull Of politics, clout and emotions. Picking sides where there aren’t any.
We coerce each other into opposing factions The us versus them But there is no us and them, There is only us, There is only we.
There are no borders, No lines dividing regions It’s all make-believe Fictional edges designed to give shape To a false notion that we belong in distinct groups But the edges are blurring And our differences bring us together; ‘Unity through diversity’.
We can’t be who we are Without each other. Our individuality requires social context. Everyone is necessary, Every life has meaning and substance.
Individuals connect with each other Not through religion, race, gender or status But through shared experiences and interests. Sometimes we just need to venture out, Search our roots and core values. To reveal what we really are, Where we truly belong.
We are multi-variable equations, With varying parameters and constraints. Nobody is ever the same But nobody is ever completely different. These are the axioms of our humanity.
The colours of our souls Define what we are, Not the colours of our skins; Underneath we are all— Just white, pink and patches of darkness.
