Humans

July 23, 2014

Defective,

Striving to be perfect,

Perfection is the enemy of the nations,

And nation is the foe of the nations.

But don’t they are see we are one,

Our race is nor black or white;

Just Human

Diverse for a reason,

Synonymous for a greater purpose,

Breaking walls like a wrecking ball,

For a cause,

Drilling for the thrill,

The intrinsic elements attempt to segregate,

But this has been no problem since the Paleolithic age,

But we rebel still,

It is infectious.

Here we are now,

A Mulatto, Albino, Caucasian, African,

This is sick,

A denial,

Even with our eternal knowledge,

We refuse,

Then learn to accept,

Never ending as the water cycle,

So wake me,

When we speak one tongue,

Time is not waste like a dump,

And all is not lost,

When all shades of hands are sustaining,

The weight of the world.
