Tension,

because we are not allowed;

to be ourselves,

to feel proud.

We have to hide behind our face;

our body,

our tone,

our beliefs,

our race.

But what makes us so different?

Really think.

We both need food, warmth and water to drink.

We both try our best to muddle through.

We aren’t so different me and you.

Neither of us want to be alone.

We would both do anything to protect our own.

 

Then why do we fight for black and white?

Who decided that colours can be wrong or right?

How can we fear a different shade?

Our souls are the same.

Why should one be a slave?

Do you see any wars between the sun and the moon?

They need each other;

You and I, me and you.

We both strive for love,

hapiness,

success.

Neither of us need or want such distress.

So lay down your weapons,

your words,

your hate.

Together we’re stronger,

it’s never too late.

Forget your pride,

celebrate unanimaty. 

Peace, 

love,

acceptance.

Why must we choose to divide our humanity?
