Different And The Same Poem by Bancroft Boreland

We are one yet many
We are similar but not the same
We are a rainbow of many colours
We are a day of many hours

There are those of us who dream
And those of us who live our dreams
The weak are defeated by failure
But the strong are motivated by it
Some of us are afraid to break the rules and others fight for change
A winner is he who never gives up
But a loser is anyone who is afraid to fail
Only fools believe they know everything
The wise are those who never stop learning

We may live on separate continents
In different countries, in separate states
But Earth is our common home, our common place
We are one people of many faiths
Let love be our common denominator, not hate.
