The truth is like cream

Unity doesn’t mean we’re all the same.
Unity means acceptance and integrity.
Unity means honesty and truth.

We are not the same
We are sharing this same realm
We can get along

The truth lies within
Still minds see everything
It’s all in the breath

Ugliness ignores the truth
A thought to reflect

What if we are wrong?
All things we believe are false?
So then who am I?
