We all look the same

He shouts in the train car

While others laugh

The homeless man spouting

Words of hope, encouragement

“In Jesus’s name” — I don’t believe in Jesus

But the Universe tells me this:

Inside we are all equally made up

Of star dust and energy, eternally one

We all are the same if you look

Hard in my eyes

You’ll see his soul and mine holding hands

Tied by threads created by an eternal

Source of life — elements crossing

Like limbs stretched out

Not on a cross but Vitruvian Man

We are all the same

He shouts amidst laughter

People pulling away as he wishes

Them a blessed day

And you judge him as others judge you

Don’t you see how right he is?

We truly are all the same.
