Come Together Globally

*Working Towards a Better World

 

We seem to be living in a precarious world in these times where we are afraid of one another, distrustful, not willing to work together, wanting to ignore the real global warming problem and seem to forget how we all belong to the human race and need to cooperate with one another in order to find mutual solutions for better and equal living for everyone. For this reason I wish to share my daughter's poem again, which she wrote beautifully for my painting Coming Together.

 

COMING TOGETHER

Asian, Latin, European, African,

Native, Indigenous, Foreign, Alien,

Descriptions that fall short,

vague splotches on the canvas of life.

 

All have but one heart that beats,

blood is but one color.

Flesh and Features, each unique

Organs and muscles, identical.

 

Each face a work of art

each mark distinctively it's own.

The beauty of our differences

far surpasses mere mortal comprehension.

 

Each unmatched culture,

its own vibrant combination of colors and sounds,

the pulsing of a nation, a people.

These different beats unite,

to make the music of our world.

As each exceptional voice blends with the other,

the harmony of humanity rises

high above the dark clouds of oppression and ignorance.

 

North, South, East, West,

a baby's cry is but the same.

The pang of hunger and indifference

changes not with skin color.

In the ears of every mother and father

every sister and brother

the cries of oppression should ring loud.

A call to action, a call to save our human family.

 

Our differences are but brush strokes on this canvas,

each unique in shape and color

when viewed together.....

form the masterpiece of mankind.
