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. Date: 11/26/2016 7:58:00 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 Login to Reply

Chris Green Date: 11/25/2016 8:38:00 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.

Paloma P Date: 11/24/2016 1:04:00 PM Collectively we are humankind, 'lacking' in human kindness it seems when it comes to anyone different than ourselves.
