fellow humans,
it is crucial we look
with both eyes wide open
at the cruelty humans can inflict
on one another
to see the pain
experience the suffering
be angered into action
it is crucial we know
with heart, mind and both arms wide open
the compassion humans can extend
to one another
to see the offering
receive the love
be united by its power
it is crucial we starve hate
-to death!
and feed respect everyday
~in abundance
the diverse nutrients it requires
-to live!
it is crucial, now and always
we close our eyes
for even one moment each day
to see -with perfect vision-
all humans
all humans in harmony
as we rotate together
on this miracle planet
earth.
