I maintain, despite the moment's evidence against the claim, that we are born and grow up with a fondness for each other, and we have genes for that.

Societies are noisy affairs, drowning out the sound of ourselves and our connection. ↗

You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it! ↗

And I ask why am I black, they say I was born in sin, and shamed inequity. One of the main songs we used to sing in church makes me sick, 'love wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. ↗
