Point of View

To the heart, there are
no dehumanized objects;
even viewed from afar
each has a given Name.
And in that place,
not of names but of personal pronouns,
where I converse with Me,
the recognition is manifest
That You and You
are also We.
And even those We think as They
still have a voice,
something to say.

While I did enjoy this, I found myself a little distracted by the use of capitalisation in that I increasingly looked beyond where I was to find the ultimate explanation of it, thus allowing some of the scenery to blow by me as I went. A nifty concept, though.
