There’s beauty at the core of humankind,
called love, engendering our need to bind
ourselves in strong relationships, to be
the instruments of peace and unity.
*****************
You’ll find out some are greedy to the core
when they prove what they most desire is more.
They’ll easily conclude that you need less
and walk on you to claim their happiness.
*****************
Each harbors deep within the power to choose
what he or she will be: the one who views
the world as MINE, to cater just to me;
or one who values all humanity,
for viewing all as neighbors is the key.
