[one-half]
We are not evil
not immoral, deluded, not wrong
We are so much the same
our DNA differences a spit in the sea
Oh, the poetry,
all men are created equal
But what of that next moment
between first light and first breath?
We are born into circumstance
into hands, voices, laws and measures
we learn to know as truth ,
our simple truth, before the questions begin
Consider the mileage,
the accept, refute, debate, despair
not from your origin, have courage
choose another’s, any other
Be careful
In any division set caution as denominator
to righteousness and indignation, and live
a better verse, none are greater than another
We are not evil
Us/Them almost assuredly are
