By Max O.
Walk kindly
through this world.
You do not know
what another has carried,
what they have left behind,
what they are trying
to build from the pieces.
A different language
does not make a stranger less human.
A different face
does not make a heart less deep.
There is enough hardness already.
Enough judgment.
Enough walls.
Let one thing
be simple:
when you meet another soul,
meet it
with kindness first.
