We Are the Human Race

No matter
our quirks;
idiosyncracies

                 No matter
                 our likes
                 or dislikes

No matter
our differences;
commonality

                 No matter
                 our virtues
                 or vices

No matter
the pigmentation
of our skin

                  No matter
                  our national origin
                  or culture

No matter
our facial features
or how we dress

                  No matter
                  our religion
                  or political affiliation

No matter
what language we speak; 
our accents--domestic or foreign

                  No matter
                  what we're for
                  or against

No matter
what name
we call God

                 we should never
                 lose sight
                 of ONE thing...

We are the human race.
