We're not really so different Though it seems that we are It's just that you're oblivious To what's going on here For us on this side Seems like chaos is winning For you over there Seem numbed to that shame Don't you feel the pain Are you going too fast Caught up in yourselves In your own personal rat trap Are you really too busy To listen a while Have you developed blindness To the needs that cry out It's not that we're different You versus me It's just that you're crippled Because you won't see It's never too late To open your eyes Look all around you See where beauty abides Now is the time For all of us here To join as one family To conquer the fears I can't help but love you You may not know why When I look at your soul I see me inside you < !signature--> Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass [This message has been edited by peppermint35 (edited 11-04-2000).] |

If only people would stop listening to themselves just for a little while, and try to listen to the thoughts and needs of those around them. Communication won't work if someone doesn't listen! Great poem!!  Follow your dream! |

Thank you all for stopping and reading and for your comments...I was thinking on how we all seem so disconnected from each other sometimes...the differences are played up too much, but deep inside, we're all the same....don't know if I quite got that feeling out or not...but that's what I was trying for. Thank you again, for your kind words, much appreciated  Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |
