Humans

Humans are the same, some fortunate some not so,
Humans can be friendly others just want to fight foo,

Humans believe in many different religions,
Humans create communities and divisions,

Humans have many emotions, capable to love and kill,
Humans can heal wounds also blood can they spill,

Humans can be physically strong of body  soul and mind,
Humans come tall, short, small,and large,it takes all kind,

Humans are able to lead and follow, most are ruled a few do rule,
Humans some civilised some tribal some kind, some extremely cruel,

Humans believe they are elite top of the food chain,
Humans produce medication to relieve pain,

Humans sustain weathers that are extreme very hot very cold,
Humans by others are used as slaves still bought and sold,

Humans can swim, run, jump, sail, drive and fly,
Humans inevitably in the end do die.

So true, we can be so many things and we may be different, but we are in this life together on earth before we die. Well worth doing our best to get along! :)
