It's Not About Me

Life is not about me, it is about the greater whole of humanity.

It's Not About Me!

No, I do not think it is all about me. 

It is about those whom I love.

And, I love humanity.

Those who are in need. 

Those who have nothing but their heartache.

Those who do not understand why. 

Those who are hungry

And, those whose lives 

Are laden with abuse 

As if it were a normality 

to be accepted 

And never spoken of.

This world is cruel. 

Filled with anger 

And, hatred enough to commit genocide.

This world is filled with bloody wars 

That can never be won. 

Death and pain seems the axis 

By which tyranny sits prettily 

Amongst the aristocratic bequeathed

By their station in life. 

The haves and have nots 

Have been since the beginning 

Of time.

And will continue 

Until there is no more 

People left to walk the Earth. 

But there are those of us

Who realize that we can love 

The so called loveless

That no matter your station in life

You are valuble

That your feelings are and

That your pain is 

Real

I can make a difference

I can offer a hand up

Show compassion 

Where otherwise 

would be none. 

I can say a kind word 

A word that gives hope

To the hopeless 

A shared moment 

That is so rare it startles 

And gives strength 

To the weak. 

We are not powerless as one

We are an army 

Powered by love compassion 

And, kindness. 

One moment of kindness 

Has the power 

To outshine

That of a million 

Acts of hatred.

The next time you look 

Into the haggard face 

Of he downtrodden

I want you to imagine 

When it was they were last hugged

The last meal they ate

Was it from a dumpster?

Where did the filthy clothing

They wear come from? 

The next time you feel such animosity 

For a culture that you do not understand, 

A third world country whose customs that seem so 

barbaric by comparison to your own. 

Imagine what their house looks like. 

How often their children have eaten until they are full

Think of the school they attended or did not attend at all. 

Imagine not being able to read or write. 

Imagine being taught that it is normal 

To live in a mud house with no running water

With no Electricity

Imagine the closest hospital being a three day 

Walk away. 

Imagine loosing your child to death 

Over something as simple as 

A simple infection curable 

By a simple dosing of antibiotics. 

Imagine that we are all the same. 

That the color of our skin, the car we drive,

The home in which we live

Or the god that we worship 

had no bearing on 

The worth of a human being. 

I tell you this, 

We are all the same, 

Of equal value to each other. 

The idea that we are not, 

Is just an illusion.

Imagine that we are all the same.
That the color of our skin, the car we drive,
The home in which we live
Or the god that we worship
had no bearing on
The worth of a human being.

"I tell you this,

Of equal value to each other.

The idea that we are not,
Is just an illusion."
