People Like Us

Love God, Love People

By Gladys W. MuturiPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

There are people like us

Dress like us

Look like us

Think like us

Better yet they want to be like us

But they're not us

They bleed like us with the same red color

But their type is not the same

Their skin is not the same

Could we be the same?

Why can't they have same hearts?

They have hands just like us

Holding each hand by hand

They breathe like us

in the same ozone air we breathe in

What makes them so special?

They are strong like us

They are brave like us

And they are like us

What's the difference?

They are humans

People like us

They have heavy hearts like us

Some want to cry with us

Some want to laugh with us

Some want to hate

Most want to love

Why can't we be in love?

Is there love?

Will it ever enough?

Like you and I,

We smile

To Make our moments worth while

Wine and dine with our friends

so when can run and see the sun set down from the sky

You see?

They love us

We love them

I love them

But do they us?

love poems
