I Know What You Know

Rating: 4.0


I know what you know
I am not inferior to you.
Do not look down on me
We are all homosapiens.
Divinely created as God's image
God rates us all equally.
I have sights like you
I walk like you
I think like you.
I may be black,
I may be white,
I may be coloured,
I may even be red
I am God's creation
My senses are the same like
Differences in skin pigmention
Does not make me inferior
We are the same
So, deal with me on what I know
So, deal with jewels inside me
Relate with me on my knowledge
Deal with me according to my capacity
I will reciprocate the same
We are bound to respect each other
I am not cursed
My generation is not cursed
My land is not cursed
I am endowed like you
My ancestors land is blessed
I know what you know
I am not inferior to you

May his soul, the wife and others rest in peace.

We all need to realize that we are all flowers in God's garden. Some are roses, some peaches, but we are all beautiful and like the flowers, we all have roots, stems, leaves and the flower petals. We are all created from the same source and hence, we should respect one another's creation and live as one.
