Humble One

By Mr King

We are One...

One with day...
And one with night...

One with love...
And one with hate.

One with gay...
And one with straight.

One with peace...
And one with war.

One with life...
And one with death.

One with choke...
And one with breath.

One with the city...
And one with the country.

One with George W. Bush...
And one with Mahatma Ghandi...

One with America...
And one with Iraq.

One with surrender...
And one with attack.

One with man...
And one with woman.

One with Christ...
And one with Satan.

One with everything...
And one with nothing.

Its humbling to know that we are One.
