Humanity

   underneaththe names,
the customs
the stereotypes
we conform to, and wear,
like a mask -

underneath our covers -
we are all people.

weare individual, unique, special.
each has something to contribute:
anidea to add, a talent to perform, a goal to reach,
that can make life betterfor all.

we must make the effort,
we must take the time,
to findthe good in others,
and in ourselves.
