*The world seems apathetic to
The agonies of those who live
In remote countries; deaf to
The cries that scorch the weeping wind.
It’s time that we open our eyes
& understand that terror happens
On every corner of the map,
Not simply nations close to home.
It’s time that we open our hearts
& learn to sympathize with all
Casualties of disaster,
Regardless of their differences.
It’s time that we open our minds
& realize solutions for
The suffering are well within
Our reach, but only if we want them.
The human race can overcome anything,
But only if we stand together as one.
A prayer to Baghdad;
A prayer to Istanbul;
A prayer to Jeddah;
A prayer to Dhaka.
And anywhere I may have missed.*
