We All See the Same Sky


We live in the Middle East, on a wealthy estate, born of the opposite color. We see an enemy, a complete stranger, a brother in a war overseas. We may have lost our mobility, live in pristine health, been introduced to life with disease. We could be most becoming figurine, a sordid individual, just another bum living on the streets are we. We are involved with the same sex, love thy Father, wander Earth dreaming of companionship. We look out our door and watch our children play, View our street through barred windows. Lay in our beds, ponder what is out there… the same sky.
