Freedom III

Freedom III

Why do you crawl,
fettered by your chain?
Why do you crawl,
manacled by thought?

Cast aside nationality -
borders
serve only
to separate.

Cast aside race -
steeped in prejudices
differentiating
your oneness.

Cast aside creed -
shadows of The Creed;
to care, to love
the fellow Human.

When you become
a citizen of the world,
homeless, all places
become home.

When you drop
Our blinders
You will see two arms, two legs,
one heart, one mind -
You will see
a world

one.
