Different, But One


You don't look like me.
You don't sound like me.

Your god is different than mine.
Your sex is different than mine.

We are different on the outside,
But do we differ so much inside?

We are taught to hate each other,
But aren't you truly my brother?

We both belong to humankind,
But even in this age we find

That if my skin has a different hue
From yours, I can't associate with you.
