their shades vary,
nevertheless…
they smile the same smiles,
they laugh,
they frown.

the colours they see
are all the same…
their hearts beat,
they all love
& they are loved,
with their tongues they speak,
albeit
in different ways.

so,
they come
from different lands
& their shades vary,
& they use different words,
nevertheless…
they share consciousness.

there is a collective consciousness
to which they all belong,
& although they carry different tunes…
they sing the same song.
