We Are All But One
we are all but one
varied colours and hues
countless creeds
trudging down alone
the world's avenues
yet the strands that bind us
together as one
reach far too deep within our collective soul
as we amble on underneath our soiltary sun
we are all but one
one body of humankind
with a shared yearning for love
and peace
shelter
and companionship
food
clothing
and above all
hope
that ever burning furnace
that rages inside each woman and man
hope
that somehow, some way, someday, something will for the better emerge
and we may then cease
to sing our mournful dirge
for hope shall triumph
now or in some distant tomorrow
and hope shall be victorious
over the dread and gloom and hate and pain and days of achingly deep sorrow
so we can rise up and lift our heads
and stare into the blooming of a new dawn
a dawn of victorious hope
and of peace and of light
dispelling the darkness of ignorance
ushering us all into the fields of the future
to behold the glorious and the truth of real freedom's awe-inspiring sight
