Petals of my skin
Mapping my identity
Flourishing to embrace the beauty of our differences
But you,
You blindly glance at my petals
Hatred steaming in your eyes
Judging
Setting the world afire
Belittling the power of love
Feeding the anger sparked by a few
My brother, my sister
You are failing to see my delicate roots
Sharing the same mother as yours
Foolish human
Blinded by malevolence
You see my petals and judge my roots
Failing to recognize our unity at its depths
They are one
Intertwined
Like a thousand streams crying into vast corners of the world
Each carrying water from the same ocean
Dear fellow human
Humanity
