REFLECTIONS © 2011

I cry for humanity

As if it were my identity,

For I carry within me its pains,

Its hopes and its fears,

Each tear, each smile,

Is a reflection of what I am and what I need.

We are all made of the same essence,

Sharing the burden and the awareness,

And, in weeping for the lost humanity,

I find myself in this life.

In collective suffering, there is a truth,

A deep connection, a reality,

That we are one, in a single heart,

Seeking peace, love, and redemption.
