Whether Indian or Asian
Whether yellow black or white
The very thing that makes you “you”
is hidden out of sight.

Skin differences are but skin deep,
The roots of love and hate
Are in the wrinkled Universe
That lives inside each pate.

Everything you ever knew
And all you've ever loved
Are self-contained within your brain
That’s how it ever was.

Our Angels and our demons
Live inside our frontal lobes
Since time is short and fate is sure
I’d rather love than loathe.

( inspired by a comment made by Dr. Ben Carson, an American)
