And Yet - It Is What It Is

Our lives have known such different ways
                         Such different ways have we
And yet despite such varied worlds
                           The same sun helps us see

The teachings of a higher source
                                        So similar of grain
So why then must our names, our skins
                             Give rise to hate and pain  

The meals we set to nourish babes
                               To blossom healthy lives
Though dished up from a different pan
                                  A common fire thrives

And yes, the love that bears its fruit
                                To sow its yielding seed
The very same no matter where
                                 In manner and in deed

Our lives have known such different ways
                         Such different ways have we
So why not share and learn and form
                                             A larger family
