Different and the Same
by Achoti Ty Battle
One is in the future and is living quite comfortably
One is stuck in the past still quietly in slavery
One is blind with success that’s why they can not see
One is seeing with the hope of what will eventually be
One is not aware that something’s wrong and swear that we are free
One is feeling abandoned and alone and are calling out for Thee
One is a forward thinker wondering how long this will last
One is a forward thinker but won’t look back to the past
One is in a movie and is part of a script and cast
One is in a movie and is ad-libbing having a blast
One is viewed as a turtle but they are really moving fast
One is seen as a lion slowly moving in a world that is vast
Both are different but are here in the same plane of existence
Both are tightly wound and coiled with an abundance of resistance
Both know that ‘Change Gon Come’ in one unplanned instance
Both have strength and courage and lots of natural insistence
Both are equipped with passion and large
amounts of persistence
Both see their penned paradise waiting off in the distance
