Equals

what pitiable creatures
humans

it matters not whence you come
where you go
who you love
what flag you wave
what creed you follow
what language you speak
nor
what color of skin you bear

our blood is all the same
and the earth drinks it greedily
wherever it is shed

Honest, true and powerful words my friend.
"our blood is all the same

The above lines are true. If we don't change our ways. The point of no return shall come. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry and thoughts.

it is true we are often very "pitiful" us humans, ignorant as well as stupid.. our blood is the same and it flows far to easily and has done so for far too long... in this I think you have written a powerful as well as true thing Caradoc...

I would just ad that in my thinking, what flag you wave and creed you follow is the reason why our blood, while the same, feeds the earth.. what we think matters... for example your view is not the accepted view of many people who believe and think they are special, more important than others and their flag should fly all over the world... anyway, just a thought on a poem and view that should be more the way we live... as people of one planet...
