SAME

   The murders in Libya and the aftermath of escalating violence are crrr-azy.  And scary.  And so needlessly hurtful.  I don't know that we'll ever know the real story, but it seems people "over there" are angry and hurt over what some of "us" have done, now we "over here" are angry and hurt over what some of "them" have done.  Soon more and more people will become angry and hurt, until the retaliation for all the anger and hurt takes on a life of its own and becomes a monster of violence.
   When will it end?  Maybe when we realize we are more the same than different?

SAME

Our blood spills

RED

just the same.

Our hearts beat,

we LIVE,

they stop,

we DIE,

just the same.

We cherish LOVE

fear LOSS

celebrate JOY

suffer PAIN

just the same.

You

me

WE

are

just the same.
