Getting to Know Each Other

the holy book says god created
diverse races so that people
can get to know each other
and of course ourselves too
because it is through others
we can get a better understanding
of ourselves, we owe a part
of ourselves to everyone around us
is anybody here an island?
can you hear me from far away
making a confession?
