We Are People

We Are People

A Poem by Cool Girl
"

That's it..

"
As the sun rises
And the faintest hints of light begin to touch the sky,
We, too, rise.

Up from our beds we go
To work,
To school,
To shop,
To play,
And much much more.

The labels go on;
Teacher,
Lawyer,
Student.

The judging begins;
S**t,
Bully,
Nimrod,
Idiot.

The differences are made clear.
The people become
Ashamed.

But at the end of the day
When the sun goes down,
The labels come off.
The people are tired.

And I think to myself,
"This is the world."

And as the children get tucked into bed,
I realize,
We are all just..
People

Wow, this poem really has a concrete meaning to it. People label us with many things like you said. They judge us upon endless qualities. But when we all go to bed, we are all just "people." All created equal but not treated the same.
