Acts 17:26 "God made of one (henos) blood (haimatos) every ethnic group (ethnos) of humans." ~Word for word translation, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith(Vol. 74, Issue 1), Fred S. Cannon, March 2022.

If I Could Change One Thing

I would, if I could, endow my voice with power to speak
into this tiny drop of the universe the word
peace.

I would remove trepidation from within all nations
and mistrust from the  peoples of all nations and speak
serenity. 

I would open the kaleidoscope of eyes to see
that we are simply brothers and sisters in the one family
human.
