Fingerprints


There'd be no need to pass on the blame

if we understood we aren't the same

There'd be no guilt

There'd be no shame

if we understood we all feel pain

No person is a carbon copy

of what we think they ought to be

You're yourself and I am me

Maybe someday we'll accept that

and we'll all be happy
