Human Monsters

Location

Ya' know
I don't think Jesus stuttered when He said that
He loved everyone.
Every one of us, 
that means you who speaks
in God's house on Sunday
and you who kneels in front
of temple when you pray.
That means woman 
and man.
And man do we think we're
special
to think that we can do better
at life than others can.
Can we talk about this?
Because I thought we were 
Mankind
but it seems like we're
mean men and what 
I mean is that man 
kind of needs some work.
Work through the hatred.
Work through the sorrow
until the tomorrow that
we could call happiness.
But it seems like too much
Work
So we'll just keep the hate,
and discriminate,
and in then end
we'll terminate
the human race
who we refuse to take into
our embrace
and call family.
When in the end we'll all belong to Earth
because in the ground
we're bound 
to look the same.
We'll have no names
when our skin has deteriorated.
We won't be able to tell who we hated
because we'll be like clones
just dust and bone.
You can't tell
man from 
woman
black from
white
copper skin from
Asia's kin
African from
American.
But enough about clones and bones and tombstones
Let's just pick up peace's phone.
"Yes, hello, peace?"
Well peace says,
Pieces of me
and pieces of you 
if we refuse 
to do what we need to do
which is to call eachother by our real name.
Human
because if we don't
we're all just monsters.
