We Are All Somebody's Child

We Are All Somebody’s Child 

There’s no difference between you and me, 
Accept the color of our skin, or origin of birth.
Our lives conceived, through passion and procreation,
Veins full of blood, with many DNA affiliations.
Just innocent young beings ill-equipped at first,
Unaware of our plight, not knowing our worth!

It is said that Life has stages,
Let’s widen our horizons, by reading all the pages.
Time and events have a way of confusing the mind,
Wake up, smell the coffee, it’s all by design.

Our lives hang in the balance, time to recognize our place.
Take responsibility for our action, no more hiding your faces!
This world is what we make it and the stage is set,
We Are All Somebody’s Child, parts of Societies outlet!

Let us not de-value life!
