No Two Peoples Are The Same



Everyone is always different,
What, you thought we were all normal?
You thought we were all the same?
Fool. A child. A fool's child.
I am half Indian, am I the same as you?
You are white,
Have you ever been discriminated
For wearing a feather in your hair?
I didn't think so.
No two peoples are the same.
Not even twins.
Like them Olsen twins,
One is uglier than the other,
Or is one smuttier than the other?
Who cares? You would, but I refrain.
I don't care that you think we are the same two people,
Because you've never been slapped by your mother,
Your mom probably never said she hated you
Or told you that you were stupid.
I bet your dad never has the time
To ignore you.
I bet he pays you perfect attention.
I bet your siblings don't laugh at you
For succeeding in a community college.
Yeah we sure are the same.
Such a fool you are.
I live with danger by my side,
You are too prim and proper to know
What that's all about.
I'll go and have an adventure if I want,
I heed no warnings,
Lest they be yours,
Then I shall laugh.
Spouting my indifference about the air.
