Imagine,
If everyone looked the same,
Acted in the same manner,
Even had the same thoughts,
No differences in personality,
Nothing to set us apart.
Imagine,
The rivers looking the same,
Surrounded by the same
Environment all around the world,
Even the waterfalls,
Wouldn't be a special sight,
Looking the same; being the same,
No uniqueness in them.
Plants and flowers,
All appearing the same as each other,
Fragrance of a favorite flower,
Lost within a world of similarities,
Beauty disappearing into similitude,
No longer having any uniqueness,
In anything any longer.
The world around us,
With a kaliedoscope of cultures,
People of different nationalities,
Variety in a world full of abundance,
So many unique qualities,
On offer around the globe.
This is the reason why,
That my heart is saddened,
When I see hatred acted upon,
For nothing more than being different,
Instead of admiring, compassion and love,
We are taught differently.
When it comes to human beings,
We are expected to act the same,
If we act differently,
We are labelled not normal,
If we think differently,
We are ridiculed and mocked,
Unfortunately; we tend to hide what's real.
Dreams can be reality,
Hope is all that's needed,
One day before its too late,
Before we lose our ancestor's history,
We, as a human race,
Appreciate; respect one another,
Instead of destroying anything different,
Making us all behave, think and act,
To be normal; to be robots.
