We all play roles
You know
It dwells in all
Lost cause
Lost souls
Soft souls
Soft-spoken
Out-spoken
You know
We all subsist under the light
Of the sun
You be one
I’ll be the other
Sisters and brothers
In the flesh
Come forth
As foes
Who never connect
You know
Some people are intellectuals
But all are individuals
Others, not as sharp
But still collect residual, 
Effects 
That makes them too, intellects
So all people are intellectuals
I guess
So respect, because knowledge learned
And knowledge applied
Make the difference between death and life
You know
So what is the main claim
Could it be that we are not the same
because we have freedom in drives
As nature proclaims
But in addition to
Being individuals
It is also true
That we are all characters
