One in the Same


We are humans

black, white, arabian, indian, asian

 

We bleed the same blood

yet we all are against

one another

 

Our pain is our pain

our blood is ours

we separate each other

yet we're all one in the same

 

Made from the same hands

breed from the same blood

but their skin makes us

different from me and you

 

Judged because of

ones fault in our culture

so that makes us terrorists ,

theives, thugs, killers, and drug dealers

 

But when will you

see that we are one in the same

 

Yet we dehumanize,

judge and shun one another

because of our backgrounds

 

When will we realize

that we're all the same

that you are like me and

I you

 

We judge one based on

their skin color and

their ethnicity and

we call it racism

 

But what will we call it

once we look pass the labels

and colors?

 

What will we call

it once we stop judging and killing

 because of ones fault in

our community?
