The Human Puzzle

Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life, on an Earth that was once just one land. To think we were all completely the same, before we had to disband. Divinely dispersed by floods, quakes and time some went east, some south, north and west. Adapting to climates of heat, cold or rain, they did for themselves what was best. Environmental differences were formed to survive, the natural challenges of life, A human puzzle whose pieces will not fit, rubs edges in continuous strife. If some only knew, once long ago, we were of the same kind. All still have a heart, two lungs and limbs. The variation is in the mind.

Enjoyed your poem that certainly helps put the pieces together, Janis. The last stanza needs to be internalized by humanity. Of course, the powers that shouldn't be try to divide us by picking on differences, but we have great poetry to bring us together!
