You may think one way
I might think another
We began to separate
Start to say why bother
Uniting with each other
We're bound to one another
In unity there is strength
When we go the extra length
My ways are not your ways
Your ways are not mine
Still we can come together
Our differences we will find
Other paths may also be taken
May lead to the same destination
Love and peace are not forsaken
Time to stop our procrastination
My ways can be your ways
The flag of freedom is flown
Your ways can be my ways
As we rise to heights unknown

In this world of argumentative people there will ever difference of opinions and the matter is it must be sorted in such normal ways other than confrontation. A nice thought and good poem.
Differences are bound to remain as we are not born equals but with reasons and wisdom we can sort out our differences and live together to serve the common cause of life......an amazing piece indeed
your ways are my ways in the way that you write and I am so grateful on this poem I've read tonight.
Tolerance wins the situation. Differences we can find of our own at any point being unique. Very nice composition op poem with motivational impact. Excellent work shared.
In unity there is strength When we go the extra length Nicely said. It is the diversity that brings variety of ideas.
Our differences we will find Other paths may also be taken May lead to the same destination if you mean unity can be maintained or attained by paths OTHER THAN homogenization, then i agree that it sometimes can be done. but, speaking for myself only, i'll add that i could not live comfortably making SOME people's WAYS my ways, or insisting on my ways becoming other people's ways. i guess that is why i've been divorced three times! but i've found i can live with someone (with frequent squabbles perhaps) without diluting my ways or her ways TOO MUCH. though it sort of seems a waste to discard a once-chosen mate, it also seems like the right thing to do at times. i've been lucky to always find another fish in the sea of humanity! thanks for sharing. bri :) and thanks for some rhyming.
..............very nice......our differences, is what makes life so very fascinating....
Difference in opinion and difference in thinking may definitely be there but why should we not live peacefully, maintaining a decency. It's a great write. Love and peace should maintained, that cannot be different.
