I'M No Different Than YOU

What's wrong with me?,
          Why am I different than you?,
                    What truly keeps us apart?,

I have a brain in my head,
          Skin on my body,
                    And in my chest, I too have a heart,

I think of this often,
          Do you think of it too?,
                    If you do, I too feel your pain,

You're the same as me,
          I'm no different than you,
                    On my heart I feel this strain,

I've got a seat here for you,
          For nobody else,
                    Please come sit next to me,

We'll talk for awhile,
          I'll get to know you,
                    And you too will get to know me,

We have the same likes,
          We do the same work,
                    And we both can use our mind,

I feel we live to love,
          No limitations involved,
                    And that love is colorblind,

But I learned long ago,
          It's everywhere you look,
                    Prejudice is alive and well,

Prejudice was created,
          By Satan himself,
                    It's purpose, to bring people to Hell,

What better tools,
          For Satan to use,
                    Than hate and rage themselves,

These are just two,
          Of the very sharp knives,
                    Prejudice has on its shelves,

I wish that we all,
          Could be children again,
                    Having the innocence that they possess,

But this time around,
          Without troublesome times,
                    Without hate and prejudice,

You see, in childhood,
          Prejudice is taught,
                    Or else, prejudice does not exist,

So we as adults,
          Must open our minds,
                    Instead teaching our children this,,,

We all have a brain in our head,
          We have skin on our bodies,
                    And in our chests, we all have a heart,

We have the same likes,
          We do the same work,
                    There are NO reasons to keep us apart!!
