Poetry: Humanity

What A Way To Live






There is too much anger in the world

I believe that most of it consists of

People being afraid of what's different

But we are all the same

The color of my skin

Or the way I choose to worship and love

Should be no concern to you

As those things about you

Are not or will never be a concern of mine




I am human

They should have that on an application

Where am I from

Planet earth and yourself

I bleed red just like you

I know who I am

Do you know who you are?




If everyone minded there own business

We would be better off

No government or being is more superior

Even though they like to think so

You can't force your ways on someone else

My way of life isn't civilized to you

Then don't come to my civilization

You don't like my food then don't eat it

I don't make you look at me

With those stares of hatred

Keep on walking

I may not like what you are doing

Or how you live

But I won't go to you else's

And force you to live like me




The world is coming to an end

We continue to kill each other

Because you worship a different god than I

What a way to live

What a way to live

What a way to live
