Identity - A poem in Etheree form



I
am me.
You are one
of the many
others of the they.
Who are the many thems?
Looking over all the world,
where is the brotherhood of man?
Where is the sisterhood of women?
We are one family so should not fight.

Who
Am I?
My mother’s son
and my father’s son.
My grandmothers’ grandson
and my grandfathers’ grandson.
My great grandmothers’ great grandson
and my great grandfathers’ great grandson.
More generations into the past,
we are all the family of mankind.

What
colour
is your skin?
What shape are you?
Why does it matter?
Where are you coming from?
Do we not all have two legs?
Do we not all have ten fingers?
Are we not more alike than different?
Embrace your world; your brothers and sisters
