i am a citizen of planet earth
i refuse to recognize artificial
lines on a map
i refuse to mistrust or hate
based on
location of birth
skin pigmentation
or what name you give to
god

whether we care to admit it or not
we are all the same
we all feel
heat
cold
hunger
pain
joy
disappointment

love...

unfortunately, there are those
who have forgotten how or why
to love
because it is simultaneously the
easiest and hardest thing
for humans to do...
some human beings just seem to have a hard time
being human...
