HAPPY MONDAY: A LIL' FRINGE

DSC_0938

I’ll have to thank the Olympics and the ads that run for introducing me to Maya Angelou’s “Human Family” Poem. I’m ever so slightly embarrassed that I wasn’t previously familiar with it. It’s so perfect, especially now with everything that’s going on in the world. Here it is in part…

I note the obvious differences in the human family.
Some of us are serious, some thrive on comedy.

Some declare their lives are lived as true profundity,
and others claim they really live the real reality.

The variety of our skin tones can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple, tan and blue and white.

I’ve sailed upon the seven seas and stopped in every land,
I’ve seen the wonders of the world not yet one common man.

I note the obvious differences between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.
