Two Kinds

http://www.anonymousartofrevolution.com


Two kinds of people in the world:, the givers
and the takers. Liberals, conservatives. The spiritual
and humanist, the gays and straights, the violent and
peaceful, saved and lost, the capitalists and non,
those with a good work ethic and the ones who hold
their hands out, kind and mean, smart and stupid,
those who are attractive to the eye and then, the plain.
There are two kinds of people in the world: the kind
who say there are two two kinds of people in the world
and those who see that even though we share our basic needs
(like water, food, and oxygen, only some of us need touch)
we each are different, each unique, the shapes of who
we are impossible to squeeze into the little cubbyholes
of little-minded troglodytes who never looked to see,
outside their comfy caves, the hugeness of our world.
