A foreigner's lament

"They look at me with contempt, Because I am from a foreign land, a different guise. But don't forget the thing: We share the same genetic code, In our heart 'n blood. We are all brothers and sisters, all in one Homosapiens beneath the same sun. We are linked by threads of DNA, So fine, a tapestry of life interwined. Let's recognise our common spirit, After all, we are all humans, breathing the same air. ~Byeol

To quote Robert Burns, who was a man before his time. ‘For a' that, an' a' that, It's coming yet for a' that, That Man to Man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that.’ Cheers. :)

Can't agree more. I belong to an eclectic brotherhood of man that spans some 240 lands. Love is the cement that bonds us together. If you are curious to see how that is possible more information can be found on jw.org.
