The world can be chaotic
Families growing distant
Friendships becoming stagnant
*
So many live in isolation
even though surrounded by
other human beings
caught up in the web of life
trying to free themselves
before life strangles them
cutting off their oxygen supply
*
If they lose consciousness
how long will they wait
till society develops a treatment
that cures the world of its selfishness
and greed?
How may more innocent lives
will be lost to the same ordeal?
*
Everyone wants to be seen
not looked right through
like a ghost
This desire should not make one
weak
Why not be sensitive to how others feel?
The insistence on equality for all lives
should not change
*
Hate is a fire that grows
It needs to be stopped
before combustion occurs
*
For beneath every skin
lies the same framework
the same organs and
the same systems
giving rise to a heartbeat
keeping each one of us alive
*
We are all human beings
