Division

What divides us? a river that flows one way wages of equal pay offset beats of the same heart different paintings of the same art separate genes with the cares fears that create the same despair boundaries that have the same feet What divides us? different reasons for the same fight individual eyes with the same sights generations with different trials the same odd colors of skin from the same flesh doubts in the same faith a bed in a house, a car, a street What divides us? a wisdom beyond normalcy that each thinker needs to meet mountains, valleys, or seas so great all protruding from the same core What divides us is connection.
