We are all Homo Sapiens

“I’m proud to be a living, breathing human by birth,

Birthed on this little blue dot, aptly named Earth¹

I am what I am, no excuses or shame,

We are all born into this world by our mothers, 

With no one to blame.

It’s through our collective future we have to decide,

To stop this pressure to have us continue this divide,

Divide & Conquer² is an ancient strategy,

To bring conflict into our world, this is a genuine tragedy.

Tragedy & Hope³ is a book by Professor Carroll Quigley⁴

Showing us clearly how the powerful act with malignly,

We often speculate who we think are the Plutocrat⁵

It’s their hierarchical⁶nature, when it’s known the circle
⁷is the right format.

We are all Homo Sapiens⁸we’re all the same blood

No matter your story, we’re all linked by the flood⁹

We have to use our deepest wisdom to not to see “the other”¹⁰

We have all arrived through the womb of our mother.¹¹

Another way we are divided is through our politic¹²

We may believe in the left or the right,¹³be careful it’s a clever trick

A trick that drives to divide us, like the colour of one’s skin

It’s only a surface pigment,¹⁴we are all the same blood and bone, within.

Within each of us we have the wisdom¹⁵to turn our lot around

With deep respect, understanding and relationships, bring us closer to the ground,

The ground we all share is our earth mothers body & soul

We need to mend our broken friendships¹⁶– this is our number one goal.

We are all Homo Sapiens we’re all the same blood,

No matter your story, we’re all linked by the flood,

We have to use our deepest wisdom to not to see ‘the other’,

We have all arrived through the womb of our mother.“
