Heartwarming poem on Humanity 'My Heart is same as you'

Hello Rhymers! If there is only one God, then certainly there is only one religion; and that is Humanity.
Today’s world is mired by unrest, turbulence and strife, arising out of mistrust and intolerance emanating from man made differences like religion, color, creed, ethnicity and all.
But we forget that nature and evolutionary forces created us all equal. Our natural identity is just as Human Beings-Homo Sapiens. And no difference can be greater than that one similarity. To create a better and compassionate world, we need to bury all those differences.
Today’s poem is dedicated to that spirit of Humanity.
My Heart is same as you...
You might be wearing turban, 
       though I am donning a cap,
He may be sporting tilak, 
       while she is carrying cross.
We all were born humans, 
       though we turned buddhist or jew,
Don’t look at my religion, 
       My Faith is same as you.

The land that I was born in, 
       prayed God with a different name,
I was brought up in a family, 
       that gave me this surname.
I was born as me by chance, 
       I might easily have been you.
Don’t look at my ethnicity, 
       My Spirit is same is you.

We rise from distinct nations, 
       with different threats and needs,
Let’s not imperil our future, 
       with futile wars and greeds.
Not always there’s a culprit, 
       we both too can be true,
Don’t look at my flag, 
       My Pride is same as you.

You sweat it out in boardroom, 
       I sweat it out in sun,
In struggle to meet the ends, 
       we all are on the run.
Don’t weigh me in my wealth, 
       I hold virtues strong as you,
Don’t look at my colour, 
       My Heart is same as you.
                         - Dr. Prashant Bhatt

So when you wake up tomorrow morning and leave your home, don’t judge the street vendor on his wealth (or the lack of it), don’t look at the religious symbol of the guy sitting next to you in train, don’t enquire the ethnicity before being friends with your colleague, and don’t discriminate against the people of the world based on their nationality.
Love, Peace, Equality, Humanity...
