same species

To Edward Said's
'others'

we gotta work twice as hard 

as our humanoid brothers

who show no mercy
we're equally worthy

it's important for us, friends, to 

trust 

no one 

and everyone too

but whatever you do

don't let your anger brew 

because at the end of the day 

we're the same species 

believe me 

as much as it grieves me 

we're not so different

'them' and 'us'

so rise up 

and never stop 

trying to make 

a difference
never stop
trying to make
things right
