It is not the colour of our skin <br />that makes the person, <br />but what lies deep within. <br />We all bleed red blood <br />no matter what colour we are, <br />our tears are always salty <br />whenever they stain our sorrowed brow. <br />We all breathe the same air, <br />so why do we discriminate <br />and caste aside one person from another. <br />No matter who we are <br />when we die and go to heaven. <br />God does not discriminate <br />from one person to another. <br />As far as he is concerned, <br />we are to him just one big family, <br />no one is different from the other. <br />Therefore, as we walk forward today <br />lets link hands and say, <br />come and join us as we are family. <br /> <br />16 May 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-we-are-family/
