We're all the same
In our brotherhood of men
We are the same, we're just the same.
Tree lives and grows, and falls and dies,
So does a man. In pain and strife
He's born, then grows and dies the same,
We're all the same, we're just the same.
In our brotherhood of men
We try to move to better end,
Well knowing, life is but a thread
Which stretched tight will give and break,
Being the same we're more than safe.
In our brotherhood of men
We'd never know what's best for men,
Much weaker we would be and break,
But for the knowledge we're the same,
Cause we're same, we're all the same.
In our brotherhood of men
Our human nature strives for best.
This is what matters in the end,
Forgetful of or knowing well
We are the same, we're just the same.

In our brotherhood of men We are the same, we're just the same. Including sisterhood of women, there is much truth to what the poet writes. Were we to be able to build on our similarities rather than tear down because of our differences, the world would be a more peaceful place. Based on the variety of the poets in the Corner, I trust that the peace achieved would NOT be boring! Here's to friendship...as it goes around the world, it makes the world go 'round as a much nicer place!
A fine philosophical write...
