How is it that we are all the same?

A poem

How is it that we all feel the same

When disaster strikes

When a loved one passes away

When an arrow is hit and ten are struck

We all shed a tear

We all come together to light that candle

We all share

We all stand together

Deeply, inherently we are all connected, we feel the same

How come we don’t realize that when anger comes upon us or strife

When impatience takes over

And all we want to do is strike another

How come we forget this innate truth about each one of us then?

    beautifully captures the deep connection we all share, especially in moments of pain and loss. It’s such an important reminder of our common humanity and how easily we forget this in times of anger or conflict.
