A Mere Fact Of Life Poem by Francis Duggan

Since most races and all colors of people i have mixed with and known
From those with racist views in my thinking far apart i have grown
We all do belong to the one big human family
At least anyhow that's how it seems to me
In the park, shopping center and on the street
Everyday the good and not so good of all races i meet
People are people as some like to say
And take them as you find them it does seem this way
I mix with all races and colors of white, black and brown
And none i look up to and on none i look down
Like my blood their blood does flow red when they bleed
To me they are similar quite similar indeed
And like me they are mortals and born to die
A mere fact of life and fact does not lie.
