So much alike


You and I may not be exactly alike, 
But there’s no denying: 
The two of us are tethered to the same — 
The same earth, the same air, 
The same hopes for health and happiness, 
The same needs for food, shelter, clothing; 
The same desire for respect, and for love;
For a chance to share our gifts, and for 
A safe and comfortable place to rest. 
When we have so much in common, 
Why insist on focusing solely 
 On our differences?
