We Are The Same Poem by Deborah Bonner

We Are the Same
We are the same
We are the same
I must proclaim!
When you are cut you bleed red blood.
Well when I bleed, my blood is red too!
We are the same
We weep tears, laugh and mourn.
We even cry out when our babies are born.
We have five fingers, ten toes, and two legs.
We have two arms, elbows, and one nose.
We have two eyes, two ears to hear.
My goodness we eat the same foods!
We stand up straight and can look at you face to face.
We are the same
We sit in the same class rooms to learn.
We have even won medals of Honor in war.
Can't you see We Are the SAME!
