White Sand and Red Dust

people are different
some people pray
some people say nay
some people sit down
the whole long day then
they
go too far 
away
some
sun-red-brown 
sidewalk stains 
all
look the same as
power
snowballs into
a fueled-blame then
 neighbors never
look the same 
until we
share this shrinking world
make acceptance a 
universal law
share dreams with
vision
share the sorrows of
loss
share all of
the tomorrows
please
share the world
if not
there is a space ship leaving soon for Mars
