Different or same?
People are all different, all people are the same?
Repeated and debated, it gets a little lame.
Isn't it really how you look at it, afar, near,
Millions making choices, or a child's tiny tear?
Friends need both 'differences', a little of 'uniform',
Maneuvering otherness and the social chloroform.
How humans strike balances, or each other in disdain -
That's stuff of biography, as well as history's refrain.
