Naked Poem by Matthew Holloway

Naked
~
Were we all to stand naked
We would see arms, legs, eyes, lips
Some in different shapes, sizes
Some in different colours
But still, still we would see the same
A naked human being, living
Breathing in the same way
We all drink and eat to live
We all need to sleep
Have toilet habits
We are all born of this earth
Animals of culture
Culture now that's a laugh
We fight and kill for nothing
Petty differences, opinions
Hate is an unnecessary emotion
However some try to explain it
Through lies and wasted breath
It is not worth listening to
Strip bare the pretence
In truth, there is no difference
We are all naked, living breathing
Animals of a human culture
