We're So Alike

Despite our differences, we are much the same,
trying to harmonize Faith with our fate.
                          We live to die;
                            it is our way.

We are intelligent, sentient beings, and we're
capable of feeling both joy and pain.
And when hope suppresses our selfish ways,
we experience emotions of trust and love.

        Is Faith working to unite us
        or is it keeping us apart?

                          We're much alike,
                            though different!

Yes, Emile, it is fear that divides us and keeps us apart. And I agree we "share a heart"; I call Him God. Nice one!
