Dec 1
I've wept over and seen too much
of the world's cruelty and misery
it's my humble sacred duty
to exercise my utmost humanity-

wars, conflicts and devastation
the massive hunger and isolation
children who have never known
a single day of peace or consolation-

how I do hate the word 'ideology'
it divides people into every conceivable category
(the 'I',  'You'  and 'They' become a huge chasm )
a justification for acts against humanity-

yet,  we're all an integral part
of one global community:
let love and compassion flourish
to herald in an enlightened century.
