Individual Masses
The jocks, the preps, the Goths, the nerds
The groups, the cliques
Nameless faces, unknown masses
Defined by appearances
“Oh! He has a football. He’s a jock.”
“Oh! She has a designer shirt. She’s a prep.”
“Oh! He has all black clothes. He’s a goth.”
“Oh! She has her nose in a book, She’s a nerd.”
Unknown and misunderstood
Open your eyes and don’t just see the masses
Open your eyes and see faces
People with names and emotions
Each face has its own problems, joys, sorrows and loves
Each face has a story
Above all each face is human
We are all human
Next time when you see someone, look at them as a human
Not a jock, prep, goth, or nerd.
