More than me


In the world I come from The colors of skin mesh to one. Culture clashes like the joining of two bodies of water Like the rise and fall of grand empires. Morals and ethics flood the bindings of religious teachings The blood in my veins and the wheels of my mind… Those are the greatest things. The psalms of the bible, The Hindu teachings; Life is more than religion. More than color of my skin, Than the clash of culture, But rather… The lessons In the world I come from It is more… More than race, Than ethnic backgrounds… The reason I stand with others Of a different color. The reason we strive to understand. the reason to dream. The reason to encourage others to do the same. The lessons we learn. The lessons we hope to understand. It is the clay we mold into our greatest ambitions. The sky that I see, And the stars that I count. It is the universe - Everything we know about it, and Everything we hope to find out. A great drive… Driven to understand To realize… The world is greater than me go here)
