We Shouldn't Take Other's Humanity

In South Carolina, walking to his car outside of Brew's Bar peacefully, twenty year old Sean William Kennedy, was punched in the face and died that day, simply because he was gay. Us members of such a cruel human race, shouldn't take other's humanity- The LGBTQ community has a right to shared space. ~

Thank you, Gershon. As members of God's community, we owe it to each other to be kind to one another. Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen that way. Am Yisreal Chai ~

we should all be mindful of one another's humanity, our shared humanity and not focus on differences which are small in the big picture. Love the wisdom in your poem. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
