We Are All Friends

I am my own confidant  
I breathe with my own lungs  
I learn with my own mind  
I chose a partner with my own heart
Although I still depend on other necessities
Food and rice are cultivated by farmers
Clothing is fashioned by tailors
Vehicles are produced by manufacturers
Houses are constructed by carpenters
Medicine is prepared by doctors
Even the restroom is provided by others

People from all nations and religions
Create meaningful things to share
Support and love one another
Only a few leaders are cruel and selfish 
They view themselves as superior to others
They do not prioritize living in peace
Embrace immorality and wage brutal wars
