The Unique and Same

They awake at different times of the day

An alarm clock at 5, a yell at 7

A father’s touch at 8 and a siren at 11

They all get ready in a different way

A jog before work, cooking breakfast for ten

A prayer on one’s knees, meditation for Zen

They travel in a different way

A luxury car zooms, a bus flies by

A bicycle weaves, and feet walk miles

They all fill their days in different ways

All day in an office, all day in the sun

All day learning in school, all day searching for a job

They all go home to a different space

A mansion with a pool, an apartment for ten

A room for father and child, a park bench once again

They all have struggles

A loneliness and depression, a struggling to make ends meet

Hours of homework and pressure, an addiction that can’t be beat

They are all human in the same ways

A love for other’s success, a will to succeed

A sacrificing love and eyes that sit back and see

They are all unique and the same

Diversity is one thing that makes the world a wonderful place
