Differences With Similarities

Everyone is different,
  everyone has different feelings,
  everyone has different pasts,
  everyone has different personalities,
  everyone has different opinions,
  everyone has different ideas,
  everyone has different mentalities.

  But there is this one
     similarity
    everyone has.

      A sad truth everyone
   knows that would happen.

      The sad truth 
      everyone is trying to hide,
      this truth,
      is everywhere.

  Destruction everywhere
  Evil in this world
  Authority abused
  Theories misunderstood
  Hatred in everyone
  
            What do this spell out to you?

     We could have fixed it
         But never mind,
            Someone else would
  put aside our differences to find that similarity.

              Right?

I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
