Beautiful poem written by Maya, a budding SAALT member from Maryland.
Human-Kind
Together, we’re one,
Together, we belong;
But apart,
Divided,
Discriminated and racist,
Proud and vain;
We lose who we are,
We lose the soul within;
We destroy the foundation,
Set by a larger force;
We contradict the natural rhythm,
The heartbeat of millions;
Beneath, above, surrounding us,
Helping us,
Leading us back to the true way we were meant to be;
But still we ignore,
Set in our ways;
If only we could fix ourselves,
Then the world would be right;
But then,
We cannot.
Can we?
