The promise and reality of mankind’s survival
is contingent upon brotherhood,
our kinship – one human to another.
It is our responsibility
to dissolve a foundation
of ignorance and fear.
Invalidate man-made barriers
and fearlessly cross
that not cast in stone.
Tenderly embrace
the once considered stranger,
now unaccustomed friend.

If we are to continue to exist as a human race, it is imperative we become more like brothers (and sisters) in this life. Life is too short and precious for anything less. Why must we realize as we near death or destruction there must have been a better way.
ReplyDeleteWhere I am in Iraq, we see what damage can be exacted by brothers who have allowed ideas to get in the way of their responsibility toward the human family. What must happen for us to act humanely/brotherly toward each other?
