Simply... People

Some wear threads of satin and silk

While some wear plain, meager cloth

Some sip fine wine while others gulp milk

But God is the God of both

Some speak with cultured refinement

Some say ‘you is’ and y’all

But I’ve come to the conclusion

We’re simply people; that’s all

Some strut across earth’s grand stages

While others cheer, shout and applaud

Some serve in deep, hidden places

Where nobody sees…but God

Some hunt for food in the jungle

While others feast every day

With people serving people

It’s always been this way

God made both servant and master

Rich, poor and in-between

He does not love one o’er another

And none are misplaced or unseen

Then, when this little life is over

We all pass through one common door

So we ought always to love one another

For we are simply people; nothing more
