What is it you see first?
Is it the
worst, the mindless, thoughtless deed,
the violence,
the selfish greed,
the cutting
word, the slur you heard
the disregard
for you, your creed?
Or is there something else you see?
A vision of
humanity,
where each and every one has worth,
regardless of their place of birth,
where what we say, and what we do,
is measured by a
different view,
that sees the good and shouts it
loud
and spots the kindness in the
crowd
and looks to soothe another’s
pain.
And tries its best.
Again, again.
