HUMANITY

by DARLENE

We are all born
From the same thought,
The need to reproduce.
We are all made the same.
The same structure,
The same mind,
The same, everything.
So why?
Why do we hate?
Hate each other so much.
Because of the way we speak,
The way we act?
We all see the same,
Feel the same,
Breathe the same.
So why?
Why do we have to kill each other?
For land?
We have enough.
For food?
All we have to do is think.
And we can solve every problem we create for ourselves.
I don’t understand.
Why do we divide ourselves into these categories?
We are all the same.
Human.
So why?
Why can’t we all be human?
Why can’t we truly see?
What we’ve become.
Maybe we can.
But it scares us so much,
We try to hide it.
Forget about it.
Maybe,
Just maybe,
If we don’t try to hide?
CAN we fix it?
Or is it too late?
