Together As One

The world seems apathetic to

The agony of those who live

In remote countries; deaf to.

The cries that scorch the weeping wind.

It’s time that we open our eyes

& understand that terror happens

On every corner of the map,

Not simply nations close to home.

It’s time that we open our hearts

& learn to sympathize with all

Fatalities of disaster,

Regardless of their differences.

It’s time that we open our minds

& realize solutions for

The suffering are well within

Our reach, but only if we want them.

The human race can overcome anything,

But only if we stand together as one.

A prayer to Baghdad;

A prayer to Istanbul;

A prayer to Jeddah;

A prayer to Dhaka.

And any that I may have missed.
