Different But Still The Same Poem by Paul Adolphus

You're no better than me
and I'm no better than you
Despite our many differences
we still amount to the same value

My eyes are brown
yours maybe blue
my skin is dark
but I'm still human too

I have my faults
and so do you
neither of us is perfect
isn't that true?

You have feelings
and so do I
when they get hurt
don't we sometimes cry?

You can have a fancy house,
fancy clothes and a fancy car
but material wealth doesn't
define the person you are

Some people think very highly of themselves
but beneath that outward shell
they are no better than anybody else
