It takes all types of people to make the world go round,
trying to make it steady and trying to make it sound.
We are an elective species of which we stand apart.
Words can be used like knives and taken straight 
to the heart.
Try to look at yourself in a mirror; see the reflection of self.
Don’t trivialize the importance of your ego, 
high upon your shelf.
Everyone deserves a place on this celestial piece of rock,
spinning in orbit around a fiery disc, watching the atomic clock.
We all have differences from one another, 
some more than others.
No matter race or social status, in the end we are all brothers.
We have rocket scientists and street cleaners, 
all playing this game.
Not one is above the other; we all end up in a grave the same.
Life is hard enough to go through without someone  
calling you out.
It’s their own insecurities holding them back,   
a dark cloud of doubt.
We need to accept one another with all our faults and failures.
Children are always learning from watching adults’ behaviors.
Each and every one of us needs to rise    
and make a solemn stand
to be there in the dark times and rise to help our fellow man.
They say variety is the spice of life, 
yet people walk with blinders.
No reasons to remind them of their differences;    
they’re a constant reminder.
Do unto others as they would do for you;   
treat them with compassion.
In this day and age, when times have made conformity   
out of fashion,
let’s all finally stand as one,
showing the powers-to-be our hands,
refusing to allow our differences to control us  
in our demands.
I am proud of all your personalities and traits 
that make the breakthrough.
When all is on the table, it’s what makes you—you!
