“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

Together we can erase the grayscale stereotypes
Setting aside our differences to join in unity
Making advances in the world
Together we can overcome obstacles
Obstacles planted through generations of warfare
Keeping genius innovations at a standstill
Together we can branch out into society
Embark upon a journey of wisdom
Together we can generate a nurturing environment
That promotes intellectual
Embracing the hearts of all believers
Both Christian and Atheist
Jewish or Muslim
Growing closer in friendship
Bonded by the simple fact that we are all human
Together, we will prevail

I wrote this poem to enter in a contest for my English class. In this piece I hope to encourage readers to put all differences aside, unite, and change the world by helping others.
