We Are More Than Just Dust
I'm a mathematician and have taught mathematics and related courses for over 3 years. Still working on myself. Still I rise
We all are encapsulated in dust
Dust of different colors
Dust of different shapes
Dust of different weights
Dust of different heights
Dust of different sizes
Many a time,
We forget who we truly are
We see ourselves as
Just the dust that houses us
But don't be deceived
No matter how you see yourself
No matter how you see others
No matter what your thoughts are
No matter what you believe
One thing is true
You have a soul and
That’s all that matters
Before you judge someone
Before you take actions against someone
Think of you as a soul and
Think same way about them
From dust we came
To dust we return
But we are more than just dust
It’s not about black or white
We are humans
That’s what we are
And now,
I only hope we see the light
Before it’s ruined

Your poem certainly speaks that truth and it is sad that not everyone realizes this for we are all one and the common denominator is that we are all human.
