The Human Race

Somos separados

 

Siamo separate

 

We are separated
For we speak
In different tongues

 

Nous ne comprenons pas

 

Wir verstehen nicht

 

We do not understand
We cannot communicate
Through words
For our words
Are too different

 

Nós somos diferentes

 

Noi suntem diferiti

 

We are different
Yet somehow
We are all the same
We share one common bond

 

Somos la raza humana

 

Siamo la razza umana

 

Nous sommes la race humaine

 

Wir sind die menschliche rasse

 

 

Nós somos a raça humana

 

 

Suntem rasei umane

 

 

 

We are the human race.

very well said this poem is very moving to the human race. This poem makes you sound like a ture visionary just like John lennon.

Love the idea! Couldn't be more true. We all have the same red blood and the same relatively white bones.
We are all human in the end. Our feelings like love are the same on the other side of the world. So why can't we learn to express that same love?

Beautiful idea, love the languages. I speak spanish, some portuguese and have an understanding of french and italian. Just beautiful.

I am really in awe. We need more of this in the world. You are carrying a very special message in this piece and you don't need something ridiculously long to get it across.
Love it.
