Fear.

Should one take each being singly and clarify its nature independently, making individual studies of, say man or lion, or ox and so on, or should one first posit the attributes common to all in respect of something common?
Something common. What is that? Poleepkwa and Humans are too different, too separate and too bound by an animosity almost 30 years in the making to ever be alike. From another star we came, in technology far beyond theirs and with bodies radically different then anything they had seen. Our languages, our skills, our society are all different; there is no common ground.
That's wrong. We're the same--we think, we love, we protect our own. We are willing to commit acts of unimaginable horror to protect what we love--we blow up biuldings, we slaughter our enemies without second thoughts and keep charging headfirst into the oblivion. Grief for the fallen and hope for those who will come next are instilled in both our hearts, our collective hearts that might as well beat at the same fucking time for how alike they are. Can't you see? Can't anyone see? We're the same, we're been fighting ourselves this entire time! The house is divided and might as well fucking crumble to dust now, because no one will ever believe me and listen! If humans were in the position of the poleepkwa things may have turned out alike the way they are now, the roles reversing and details changing to fit the situation. The proof isn't in the details, my friends, it's in the big picture, and right now that's all that should be seen.

  1. Differences all relative,
    Similarities all along,
    Only a few see through the veil’s adjective,
    They are the hope in your song.
