The Other

The other!!
who is the other?
The other:is anyone
who is different from me,
from my believes.

The other :is the alcaholic
who can't stop drinking,
The other:is the drug addict
who doesn't have more space 
where to inject himself.
The other:is the prisoner in
his cell forever for an act he did,
after his horrible upbringing.


The other:is the homosexual
not accepted by his parents,
cos of his sexual orientation.
The other:is the scyzophrenic 
 who is in an institute locked forever,
instead of cured.

The other:is the neighbour 
in my street who does not
vote for democrats ,like me!
The other is the muslim,
hindu,protestant,
who doesn't share 
my catholic believes.
The other:is another neighbour
with  nice dark skin,
 whilst mine is white 
as a dove.
  
we're different but....

Ilove:the other
Ilove:the other as my ownself-charma
