Byeol Captain Poet Free verse

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
