Social Beings
All people
All social beings
Compassionate love
Sentimental sentimentality
Struggling
For independence
racial and gender inequality
degrades All
Fight against discrimination
And Strive to Unify
Sequence
Sequential sequence
Aging and longevity
Forming the historic timeline
Beginning past
Present gift
Unforeseeable future
No need to fear the end
For it is a normal ending
To an extraordinary story
Please do continue on the journey
Essential Voices
Show thyself
Never deny oneself
No need to sell the soul
Helping is a noble goal
Dream to assist
And resist
Feelings of otherness
Because in spite of diaspora
The ones who suffer
Can still endure
By keeping the heart pure
And being a cure
Against being silenced
Orientation
Welcome to a world
Full of diverse citizens
Seeking acceptance
Rose Cathedral
Rising from the ground
High above ashes and dust
Stands not man nor woman way up high
With spirelets reaching for the sky
Clouds pass by and by
Nevertheless,
The rose window shines with iridescence
Creating unity for diversity
All around
Until what is lost
Is Finally Found
Life on Earth
Birth
Life
Clocks measuring
Enigmatic time
The unknown
Could be known
For anyone willing to
Dig deep within the soul
And there is no need for despair
Unearth the beauty found on Earth
