A Different Vision

Cultures may vary,
as vultures soar on high.
Deceitful ones carry
faux perceptions as they cry.

But across all these
humanity’s deep characteristics 
refuse to be as hidden fleas.
Instead with camera precision, all clicks.

One humanity woven together –
strengths, weaknesses, all bound 
with common needs and hopes, rather  
looks toward a renewed ground.

Consider. A different harvest grows,
where invigorating wind refreshes.
where the memory of war slows.
We awaken. And as one, onward presses.
