We’re all separated apart,

By one small characteristic,

A silly, foolish, crazy reason,

One that should not matter.

 

Skin color divides into many groups,

Whether you’re as white as snow,

Or as dark as the night you see,

Color is not a key characteristic.

 

Money divides us into many classes,

Whether you drive expensive cars,

Or drive what you can afford to,

Money is not a key characteristic.

 

Religion divides us into many congregations,

Whether you believe in only one single God,

Or believe in many Gods or no Gods at all,

Religion is not a key characteristic.

 

Behavior divides us into many cliques,

Whether you are shy, honest and true,

Or you are confident, boastful and fake,

Behavior is not a key characteristic.

 

Intelligence divides us into many categories,

Whether you are very smart and very bright,

Or you are a slow learner and not very smart,

Intelligence is not a key characteristic.

 

Language divides us into many leagues,

Whether you speak only one language,

Or you speak many different languages,

Language is not a key characteristic.

 

Culture divides is into many societies

Whether you are true and total American,

Or you are Mexican, Chinese, to British,

Culture is not a key characteristic. 

 

Political beliefs divide us into many parties,

Whether you are a full and true democrat

Or you are a true republican or neither,

Political beliefs are not a key characteristic.

 

Illness divides us into many different gross,

Whether you are disabled and have cancer,

Or you are healthy and doing just fine,

Illness is not a key characteristic.

 

Music divides us into many ensembles,

Whether you like Pop and Country,

Or you like Oldies, Soul and Rock,

Music is not a key characteristic.

 

Age divides us into many entireties,

Whether you are so young and naïve,

Or you are very old and very wise,

Age is not a key characteristic.

 

Appearance divides us into many collections,

Whether you wear showy clothes and are skinny,

Or you wear conservative clothes and are obese,

Appearance is not a key characteristic.

 

Essentially, we’re all divided into packs.

Like Wolves and tigers separated forever,

Or Dogs and cats forever divided apart,

For no valid reason, but so-called “nature”.

 

History has used these separations,

So has literature used them in texts,

Even movies tend to use it at times,

And so does music that we listen to.

 

Nature claims to be the only reason,

A natural ignorance we all have in us,

That we should change since we can,

And put an end to foolish separations.
