Ship of Fools
If you strip away our skin,
We are the same.
Where we differ is thoughts
In the brain.
If we are not cremated,
We are six feet down.
We all end up as a pile of
Bones in the ground.
Your heart pumps your blood
Just like mine.
We share the same sky and
Sunshine.
The color of our skin is
A pigment.
You and I are not that
Different.
There is male and female and
Something in between.
Born with the anatomy of a king
And feels like a queen.
The difference lies deep
Within your mind.
You choose to hate and
Be unkind.
No one is trying to take
Anything from you.
We want to be allowed to live
The way you do.
To be happy, in love,
and raise a family.
Overlook the difference,
Bond with commonality.
Is it that big of a deal if,
The dude looks like a lady?
Who cares if Dan wants,
To be called Miss Daisy.
You are not in charge,
You don't make the rules.
You are just the captain on
A ship of fools.
