Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

We Are Not So Different

 I'm a Catholic,You're a Muslim

I'm an Orthodox ,You're a Protestant

I'm a Hindhuist,You're a Buddhist

You're an Atheist,and I am a Mormon too.

You're an African,I'm American

You're an Asian,I'm a European

You're a Mexican, I'm an Indian

You're an Arab,I'm a Jew

But prior to all our distinct differences

I'm a Mother ,I'm a Father

I'm a Sister,I'm a Brother

I'm a Son,I am a Daughter

and I'm Human just like you.

Alexis Y. November 26, 2016 at 7:58 AM WoW! Charma, I loved this piece and it's message. This poem moved and touched my heart. At the end of the day no matter what our differences are, like you expressed so well, we all are apart of the human race. The fact alone makes us all not so different. Excellent job. A Big seven and straight into my faves:-) Alexis

Chris Green November 25, 2016 at 8:38 AM This was beautiful and such a wonderful message in your words. It is true, we are not so different, any of us because in the end we are human beings and we all love, cry, hurt, smile and feel, just as everyone else. Incredibly wonderful Charmaine.

Justin Bordner November 25, 2016 at 2:34 AM We are all a purpose, in which we teach eachother the meaning of desire Charma. There is clear beauty in this poem of altruism...J.A.B.
