Alike
I am a human being. I
consider nothing that is human
alien to me.-Terence, often quoted by Dr. Maya Angelou
We are more
the same than not,
but more is not
enough for some.
They let looks
get in the way.
Or, how we speak or
to whom we pray.
We all feel
warmth in a smile,
joy in a child,
peace for a while,
pain as hurt,
anger surge,
hatred burn.
I am in you and
you are in me.
When we can see
our similarity
our similarity
at first glance,
we can share the
best of our humanity.
We can love.
