§☼§"Friends"§☼§
We share the same sunrises, our lungs draw the same air;
The same winds blow through our hair.
We walk the same earth, whether barefoot or shod
Our food grows from the same sod.
Our bodies all have hearts, that beat in time with our lives,
So that we can grow, produce and survive.
In all of this wonder and unity, with love flying on wings,
With all of this sameness around us,
Shouldn’t we be friends?
“Friends”

Well said! For reasons which are not obvious to everyone yet, we fail to acknowledge that we are all one, that the barriers are only in our minds. The indoctrination, segregation and the conditioning we have been subjected too are dictating the way we live.
I'm so glad you agree @lymepoet. Generations of mental and religious indoctrination have incised these things into our psyche's.
This is a paradigm that must be changed asap if the human race is going to survive.
I think you might like my latest poem, it touches the same topic.
What is the title @lymepoet?
Do you mean "The Lonely Violin"?
yes.
I read it, but the fact that it was printed over an image, made it harder for me to make out the words; still I could make them out. It was very good, although seems like some of the words didn't translate well? (You didn't write this in English, did you?)
I've transcribed it with some suggested edits, which I will send in Discord DM, if you'll accept my friend request @lymepoet... just trying to help my friend
