May be your Brother

entry picture

We do not laugh at the same things,
    nor do we cry for the same reasons,
        nor do we feel the same way
            or share the same dreams;
        we pursue different goals
    but we all, without exception,
go through life in search of happiness

So why do we still shackle others,
    restrict freedom, fight and even kill
        for ideas that are not even our own
    or classify people because of the color of their skin,
their beliefs, or because they don't think the way we do?

Does the person who
    propagates intolerance,
        promotes hatred,
            opposes free will
        or censors speech,
    find happiness?
Certainly not
                    He May be Your Brother
Diversity in all its senses,
    be it skin color,
        traditions, religious beliefs,
            the stories of our ancestors,
        no matter who they are,
    contrast and enrich our imaginations,
and expands the horizon of our mind

True happiness is achieved by being
    in harmony with others,
        respecting and accepting differences,
            feeling, appreciating and understanding
        who is near or far,
    who may be your brother and who, like you,
is a living miracle in search of happiness
