We Are the Same

We are all born There is no real divide And once we are dead, It’s the same that we have died We all breathe air And live on the same Earth We all experience cycles And rejoice in our emotional rebirth We all learn to notice difference Instead of what is the same We are raised to feel unique And our ego is to blame We attach to the ego Our scars are earned When we separate from the ego This is a smart lesson learned We forget that we are all human And racial divide earns keep We forget that we are the same And for this, I weep
