Humanity
We are who we are
But we are still all human
No matter how vast the world we live in
No matter how near or how far
We are where we are
We are all human
No matter the hue of our skin
We are all human
We are not all men
But we are all human
No matter the nationality or origin
We are all human
No matter how thick or how thin
We are all human
No matter how great our sins
We are all human
No matter faith
Or what we believe in
We are all human
We do not love or hate the same things
But we are all human
No matter how strong the convictions
Nation against nation or between simple citizens
We are all human
No matter the civil
Or social unrest that has risen
We are all human
No matter the wars we wage
No matter the battles we win
No matter the violence that's made
In the end it's humans both sides are burying
Human life lost that both sides are mourning
The weight of human life in the caskets they're carrying
But both sides are still human
One thing we all have in common
Times not our friend
It is and should be our only end
But…
In the news
I only hear about humans ending humans
Why is it that I see violence
Why is it that when I look around
I see humans
But…
Little humanity
"I see humans but no humanity."
-Jason Donohue
