If I was an Alien who Came to Study the Human Race

If I was an alien who came to Earth,
I'd spend my time in airports.
In airports humanity is exposed,
and raw.
In airports you can see the sorrow of goodbyes,
the joy of hellos,
the infinite capacity man has to love.
In airports everyone's walls are down,
their facades ripped off,
forcing their true colors to emerge.
And in airports the hope within humanity is clear,
the people illustrating what some think is lost.
Everyone is either
coming or
going
parting or 
reuniting,
and Everyone is the Same.
No matter where on the planet,
mankind is one,
no matter their differences,
no matter their religion 
or race,
in airports they are all just waiting 
for the next plane to depart.
