It is not enough

just to speak

your truth but to

express with

comprehension.

You do not have to

understand why

the world is

burning

but have an idea

of who is lighting

the matches.

What is fueling

the fire.

If everyone

cried tears for

the injustices;

poverty, sickness

racism, greed.

using the tools of

empathy

caring

compassion

consideration

we could

put out

the fire.
