Human Specie

As long as we continue to see each other differently
based purely on a people's origin of birth ethnicity
there will never be any truly coexisting, peaceful, harmony
among our one and only worldwide surviving human specie.
Even so called respectable terms like black or white
evolve to be eventually derogatory such as "wigger" and "kite."
* The above isn't accurately derogatory *
* That would violate Poetry Soup's racism policy *
and speaking of "racism," I do believe
that "racism" should be redefined or eliminated from the dictionary
because it has been scientifically proved unequivocally
that race does not exist. We're all related genetically.
We're not like different species of cats like the tiger and lion
both separate unique cat species but with an obvious ancestor shared common.
There aren't any other branches extending from the human specie tree,
not since the Neanderthals went extinct. Now it's just all of you and me.
