All Women Are One

All Women Are One

I am a woman like you are.
I am a mother like you are.
I am a worker like you are.
I am an inamorata like you are.

Yet because you live there
and I live here
or because your appearance or lifestyle
is different from mine.

People tell us we are not alike.
But we can see the differences
in each other's beliefs because
our intrinsic ideals are the same.
People tell us we are not alike but
but we know better...

We are all one.
