Poem 4: Humanity: In Need of Unity

 

Humanity: In Need of Unity



Here we are,

together again...

Why do i long to hide?




We may not be the same

but I am all you have




why do I kick you

when you can barely stand?

Selfishly,

I only want to succeed

so I can look down at your jealous face




We may not be the same

but you are longing for me




what right do i have

to shatter your slate,

eat your last meal,

and sweep up the crumbs?




We may not be the same

but I could satisfy your soul




I choose not to participate

in our three legged race

i will do nothing

get out of my way




we may not be the same

but I am all you need

and i need you too.
