It is not enough
just to speak
your truth but to
express with
comprehension.
You do not have to
understand why
the world is
burning
but have an idea
of who is lighting
the matches.
What is fueling
the fire.
If everyone
cried tears for
the injustices;
poverty, sickness
racism, greed.
using the tools of
empathy
caring
compassion
consideration
we could
put out
the fire.
