The "who" we are, and how we pass that on to others, is what life is all about.
Change

Change that's made to “what” we are
May appear to set us free.
Changing looks or changing sex
Can be done for you and me.
We may change the “what” we are,
I think you would agree.
Until we change the “who” we are,
The one we cannot see.
We cannot change the world we're in,
Or the future that's to be.
Must evaluate the “who” we are,
If we're to change humanity.
The world is one big family;
It seems we've lost that thought.
Hate is not a natural thing.
It's something that is taught.
If we let love lead the way,
Then hate will go for naught.
Love is from the “who” we are;
Unlike hate, it can't be bought.
If we love the “who” we are,
And offer it to others,
We will better co-exist
With our sisters and our brothers.
