Regarding Laws To Deter, Detain, Deport

kindness is adrift
in our world
seeking refuge
from blindness deafness
the color of skin
race religion language style
equator lands yield darker skin
protected from sun's rays
why must one bow to polar types
with ice-tinted skin
let us skin the Earth
take her pulse
expose her crystal core
for she is HOME
where is the heart
bleeding within -
human blood, an endless river
salty ocean surrounds
a sea of tears
our poor planet
dangling in space

Congratulations Michele, on your 10th place win in the "I sense tomorrow is the future" contest. I enjoyed your conciseness and specific details of the future you share. Thanks for joining.

What a gorgeously wise thinker you are, and to think you can do this in a poetic way. You have a gift my friend.
