Multitudes

A multitude of raindrops
Each smaller than a pea
Can cause torrential floods
Washing houses out to sea

A multitude of white lies
Each trivial when told alone
Can stir up mass hysteria
Allowing hate to be condoned

A multitude with apathy
Each reluctant to get involved
Can result in class inequities
As the human race evolves

So, if you think that you as one
A difference cannot make
There is a multitude of history
To prove that that is a mistake
