In a human there is a heart.
Fairly similar to all others, it beats, performs, and lives. It hastens when one runs and slows when one rests, and ceases in death.
This heart comes from a human.

From this identity comes confusion. Which brings forth talk.
From this talk prejudice comes forth.
From this prejudice a superiority complex darkly blooms.
Yet from the "lessers" to the "superiors," they are all beating to the same drum.
When might one admire this identity as one may gently play with a sheen and shade of hair?
In a human there is a heart.
