We're United by Pain

Masons laying bricks,
Miners in dark pits.
Mothers in kitchen.
Farmers in a field or
Workers in a factory.
All sweat the same.

We're united by pain.
..
Down and dusted.
Sad and lonely.
Smothered by the
Dread of darkness.
All the tear stains
On pillows stink 
The same.

We're united by pain.
..
Viscous fluid of
Crimson red with,
Ashy metallic taste. 
Under the hide of
White, Black, Albion
And brown..
When hurt, oozes,
All the same.

We're united by pain.
.. 
Thirst in Alaska,
Hunger in Africa.
Siberian cold to
Desperate Asians
Seeking an identity.
We all bleed the same.

We're united by pain.
..
