At a
person's soul there seems to be an humble
desire to be decent.
To
love another, to not trample life, or
hope,
yet somehow this humble
desire gets lost amid our hunger.
Hunger for attention, for things, for food, or pleasure.
Suddenly, Able lies dead, one human treats another as only property,
a young
child cries bitterly without enough food or love.
Then day by day, generation by generation
the mark
humanity aimed for is lost from sight.
We discuss whether to turn to our left or to our right,
to love lavishly or make strict
decrees.
All the while another person's
eyes lose their spark,
ethnic groups attempt to"cleanse their environment"
and the
earth soaks up more human
blood.
When can it end?
