COMICS & POEMS 2: Alike and Not by Sharon Eoff, Poetry

Alike and Not

Simplify and ratify
Feelings that you bare
Understand how really grand
These emotions are we share
All mankind is blind
To how much we are alike
The human race is from one place
We all circle the same light
The thing that makes us individual
And not at all mutual
Is our dear sweet inner spirit
That keeps our fires lit
Without this singleness of soul
We're like the ant in his hole
All puppets on a string
To the one who grabs the ring
Alike yet different each
As we walk along life's beach
We share and learn from one another
Family all we are each other
