The Illusion of Separation
Ugly, Attractive
White, black
Short, tall
Skinny, fat
Asian, Native
Young, Old
We say what we think
Believe what we’re told
We think that we know
They feed and it grows
Separate, like dirty clothes
Only keeps the vibes low
Judgment gives us “control”
It’s a farce and it shows
Far too many of us close
eyes to plight of other souls
Rocky flight, is this life
Lend a hand through the turbulence
Never know a person’s circumstance
Talk to a stranger
Gone and take a chance
That’s a God in your sight
Like the stars in the night
That’s the place from where we came
Back when no one knew our names
We’re all uniquely the same
Fuck who’s wrong
Fuck who’s right
Our true essence is the light
Whether Gay, Bi, or Trans
You ain’t gotta understand
Whether woman, they, or man
We are beautifully human
Let’s show love how we can
