We As the People

We all have the same dreams 
We all have the same basic needs
We want food, shelter and children
The ideal dream,
We all want love
We all want to be accepted 
We all want to be appreciated 
We all want the same things
But we look at differences 
We look at each other differently, 

I'm beautiful you ugly 
You rich I'm poor
Im a man you a woman 
You white im black
The classification we all fall under
To the role playing, shape shifting 
We need to do to follow others,
So we look at ego's 
To create that ideal Persona,
So we look appealing to society 
So we don't get judged by our own reflection, 
The almighty.

We all fear the same things if you see it
We all hear the same lie just that its reflected 
that reflection seems dim to the other than it is to you, 
cause your energy is targeted differently,
The chakra levels we are assembled into, 
To the tolerance we have for each other
How we treat one another,
God can't be resurrected if me and you don't unite
We can't be saved if we don't save ourselves 
We were.....
we are....
we are there for....
To be one, and that will be
