L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Benchmark of Civilization

“No one is free until everyone is free” --
An aphorism worthy of memorization
I cannot imagine anyone would disagree
No one is free until everyone is free,
Applying to everyone, not just you and me
It must be the benchmark of civilization
No one is free until everyone is free –
An aphorism worthy of memorization.
