That is not your origin.
We are all from somewhere else.
From a long line of people long gone.
I have yet to meet someone
Who can trace their lineage
To only one country,
One race, or one religion.
But the more we advance in years,
The more we divide
And identify with our differences.
Instead, why not focus on our similarities?
Such as... how we are all from elsewhere,
Of other people of other eras,
Of other parts of the world,
Of other religions.
Mixes between lifestyles,
Across country borders,
Language barriers,
And conflicting beliefs.
Until we accept our similarities
For what they are,
Universal,
We will always be at war.
And we will miss out on
Our potential love,
Our pure friendships,
And peace.
