Human Family Poem by Oluwatosin Thomas

If there's one thing intrinsic about humans,
We are fools to be wise,
And wise to be fools.
.
Be it the egoist,
Altruist, utilitarianist, or atheist,
We claim the truth behind our relativist realist.
.
I've sailed upon the caribbean seas,
Halt in every lands and islands,
Observed the wonders of the seven heavens,
Learned from the world and beneath the soils,
Yet i see no one common man in humans.
.
I've encountered ten thousand folks,
Five thousand women,
Mary J and Mary blige,
But not yet encountered any two that are truly the same.
.
Identical twins are different,
Though their characteristics jibe,
Even the fraternals,
Love and hate never cease.
.
With the obvious differences,
I met another me,
Another me with no difference but names,
Scared at the sight at first,
But then i know we are more alike,
Than we are unlike in human family.
.
