A name denotes a connection, A silent understanding of a person, It's a label on one's self. When a name has an emotion attached, It invokes a deeper feeling. Their name uttered under your breath, A whisper on the air, Floating until it reaches the ears of the intended. A name is an indescribable piece of ourselves. A common bond that reminds us, We are all men, It is this realization that creates an equality. An agreement that we are nothing more, And nothing less, Than human.
