The Paradox of Uniqueness

Think of stars, snowflakes, and fingerprints
Most aspects of life exist in 99% difference
Unique oddities put on show
A never ending traveling circus crew
Freaks trail in tombs and snow
But aren't much different than different go
We climb up rotating ladders to see
How same we can make us to be
That crusty, rusty attitude can’t explain
Civil wars, ethnic clashes, similarities in pain
The thought goes
If, opposite the common spectrum, I fight booby trapped leaders
And nation eaters
I've achieved relevance in opposition
Battlefield or science lab
(Blood spilled in either)
Whole generations can plunge
Into consternation
Triviality of tribal traditions is decided
By lab reports and biased studies
So maybe similarities lie in our differences
That makes it difficult to accept simple ties
Cultures cave into themselves, societies self-destruct
The people’s war on themselves
