Through These Lens

When you fall fast asleep 										
and awaken the next day,										
All is the same and 										
nothing is in play.											
But what if every night of sleep 									
was followed by a new beginning, 									
an awakening in a land 											
where all may not be grinning.

This is not a part											 
of our conciseness yet,											
but should be to make sure										 
all get a fair bet.											
If this was actually factual 										
not just a mere thought,										
all would make sure											
not to land somewhere with naught. 

This fine formula											
to assure fairness for all,									
obviously people cannot see									 
beyond their own needs.									
Humankind should care										
about all on our earth, 											
hopefully all can look 										
through these lens 								 			
and find everyone’s worth.
