Us People

Poetry

Us People
I see son daughter neighbor stranger people
Yellow white red brown black chocolate people
Straight gay bi trans people

Driving parking people
People playing ball praying loud
Dancing prancing people
I see shopping people
I see people standing waiting wishing giving greeting grieving

I see old people young people
I see party people hate people
I see scared people
Nameless homeless forgotten people
Wordless speechless silenced people
Kicking scratching fighting biting
Running hiding pleading begging people
I see crying lying
dead dying people

All you living
breathing bleeding people
