Illusion is its nature <br />this distance between us <br />division, my mind over my soul <br />miss the truth <br />that we are all one <br />having beliefs and appearances <br />that list us as separate <br />behaving like enemies <br />though we are all God's children <br />which makes us brothers and sisters <br />blow through this life far from family <br />pitch awful words and actions <br />instead we do <br />racism and prejudice, petty in all forms <br />pure-bred in its sin <br />spasm happens to our spirits <br />will we ever meet in the middle? <br />no! the harsh truth and sound <br />feel the distance in a room in the world? <br />though we all face the same fate, death then judgement!<br /><br />Angelo Velasquez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-distance-2/
