The Human Race Poem by Randy McClave

Look at my hands
Then look at my face,
Can you not truly tell
That I am part of the human race.
Count out my fingers
Now look at my toes,
I also have two eyes and two ears
And only one nose.
I was born here
And you was born way over there,
I was born where the sun is hot
You were born where cold is the air.
Cut me and I will bleed
Give me too much to drink and I'll piss,
I sleep when I am tired
And every night my child I will kiss.
I have only one heart
And like you I have one brain,
Sometimes we see the same scenarios
But, we feel not the same pain.
I have two kidneys
And only one lung and one liver,
I also have two arms and two legs
To a hope and a dream, I am a giver.
God created out of mud
Then he filled it with his grace,
We both are the same
We both are the human race.
