I try to recognize
the pain in the eyes
of my brethren.
I sympathize
to realize
the humanity
and to notice
the humility
surrounding me.
The strength I see
is more powerful
than conceit can be.
Yet we're deceived.
Solidarity we seek;
Although we're taught
to be divided and weak.
I try to recognize
there're no dead
in the eyes of our Mother.
As I search
the stars of our Father
I find no better truth;
We're as one for eternity!
Certainly empathy
is our truest direction!
We're more powerful
than deceit!
