we've been fighting over the same things for thousands of years
religion, money, power, land
things that keep us separate
things that keep us fighting
keeping us in the dark
shouldn't we have realized by now
that categorizing humans stagnates progression
because when you're blinded by
ego
hate
ignorance
"differences"
how will you know which direction is forward?
What makes us different
can not compare
to reasons we're the same.
we're the same, don't they understand?
'they' love
we love
'they' pretend salt water has never flooded their eyes
and us,
well, we pretend too.
And though we have yet to see their tears,
and they have yet to notice ours
the blind can still feel
the blind can still listen
the blind can still hope
the blind can still pretend
Pretending we don't all shut our eyes every night,
hoping things will be alright.
hoping blindly
they/us/we
will open our eyes tomorrow
and stop fighting those who love and cry like us.
Realize how alike we humans are.
