Poem: If Only
If only every single person on this cruelty infested planet could
sit quietly beside my garden, then
those who cared to listen might hear
what twittering really sounds like.
If only every single person on this greed befouled planet could
stroll carelessly through my neighborhood, then
those who cared to look might see
what connecting really feels like.
If only every single person on this hate diseased planet could
share guilelessly a story with a stranger, then
those who cared to learn might know
what having family really means.
