I speak yet no one hears
I have a voice yet I am silenced
In the chaos
no one cares
Eyes to see yet blinded
Ears to hear yet no one hears
Minds are programmed to ignore
Hearts hardened
No one feels
I feel so alone
In a world filled with people
People too afraid to allow themselves to think
To feel
To accept
Differences
Things that they don’t understand
I scream unheard screams
I stand in a noisy silence
Unheard
gathered ‘round the table
smiles match, a kinship
develops in an instant
when Trust makes an entrance
dressed in fiery blue
souls warm then weave together
our differences subside
as Trust sits down to dine
As Space knows no true
vacuum – (in a vast sense
always exhibiting abundance of
space) -- so near Nature,
fills with infinite mystery,
delights in difference
though rudiments may compare
no two blossoms exactly alike
a slight, odd, curl in a petal
shade or hue its own
specific blend
no twin with definitive
blessing and sin
unlike governments
always attempting to lump
pigeon-hole
engraving community hallmarks on its
peoples
though they have individual hearts
and individual souls --
Instead of hate, please pass the scones
There is no need for guns and drones
A tablecloth of white and pink
Is better than a shroud, I think
With saucers of a china blue
To hold our cups of loving brew
No need they match in color style
For beauty knows them all the while
The petit fours in rainbowed squares
Reflect the world of one who cares
Where differences are meant to be
To live and love all truly free
Why must this be a sugared dream
Somewhere inside us, it would seem
That common sense and goodness dwell
To seek of heaven, not of hell
It’s a lovely day for a tea party
Despite cultural differences,
we breathe a life’s essence
passed down for ages,
and we are one.

Oh, Empathy,
you divine child of love,
I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our
self-interest
on
the altar of common good
for
only in this way mankind could put aside
their differences and find solutions
for
the benefit of us all!

The choices made along the path of life’s unique design
will take us places, strange and foreign, sometimes we’re afraid
our differences confuse us, we often lose our way
If we could only understand that each and everyone
must travel long in search of comfort, then perhaps we’d know
we’re so much more alike than not and all roads lead to home
How many of you were born different?
How many were born the same?
Be proud of your life and who you’ve become
and never hang your head in shame
Our differences make us unique
don’t be ashamed of who you are
Trust in those who love and support you
and dare to dream beyond the stars
Happiness is not a credit score
or how much money you’ve got in the bank
True happiness is all about love
and living a life that isn’t dank
Get up and dance in the rain
listen for the music inside of your head
Enjoy the land of the living
and never dwell in the silence of the dead
Even in a world of fear and hate, kindness wins
it’s when we realize that’s what we need, healing begins
even through the mist of darkness that we brave today
we can understand the needs of those life cast away
The smallest gesture, nonetheless , a giant in result
the perfect circumstance for love and caring to consult
no matter what or how the kindest thought may be expressed
it all adds up to tenderness of deed for those oppressed
And not just those of patent need can kindness advocate
as everyone in this foreboding time now can relate
we need each other, all of us, one fold to rise above
to forego all our differences, permission to just love
in Love and Luck
there's only Fate
there is Will and Way
to shape each day
there is who we are but not
is the question in play
not defined by Power or Roles
But Deed
Or facial Expression
or solemn Confession
but Intent thru Content
not by lips but by Words
Truth of our Essential Self
Soul is spent
not by how long our hair
not because you are faster
or brighter
or Intellectual or have
a History
or story that says so
but by the intricate Balance
of Equality
without gender or obsolete
Definition
to be just who
we are as and who we are
for many ways to be balanced
equal to the stars that bore us

a bird’s eye view of
neighbourly towns
sharing borders
peaceful coexistence
reciprocity of economics
and amicable exchanges
what’s in a border
a line drawn in the sand
respectful of our differences
down deep we’re all the same
wanting the good life
live each day in harmony

We the people voted politicians into the government
We deserve to hear the president’s annual State of the Union speech!
We deserve to hear the president's thoughts and intentions
Especially at a critical time of Government Shutdown, as it is
To think someone can order for this to be stopped is unbelievable!
It is time to speak wherever we can, to voice our opinions
Regardless of the division, we must stand strong for our rights
Hold onto hope that positive differences can and will be made
If we pay attention, take positive action, let our voices be heard
- And never give up! -
God Bless America!

We’re not all blessed
with smarts and skills
some of us
have got the looks
but not the brains
some of us
have got the brawn
but not the balls
It’s not easy
but somehow
we have to
find a way
to all get along
to keep our cool
and hold our tongue

Tear down barriers
Overlook differences
Love one another
It is time, everyone…
We need to unite!
Our country cannot survive,
This kind of division!
Thunder rumbling differences
Accusations flying both directions
- Winds Crossed -
Friction and hatred brewing,
In a pot, ready to overflow
- Enough! -
We are graciously granted freedom
In a country meant to be united!
- We are all equal -
It is time, everyone, it is time!
