A person

Whilst culture is important

We’re more than our culture

Whilst religion is important

We’re more than our religion

Whilst achievements are important

We’re more than our achievements

Whilst personality is important

We’re more than our personality

Whilst intelligence is important

We’re more than our intelligence

Whilst beauty is important

We’re more than our beauty

Whilst suffering is important

We’re more than our suffering


For a person is a universe unto themselves

Like a jewel with many facets

Each glinting, and sparkling;


Yet the facet is not the person -

The person is the jewel.
