We’re living in a one-room world.
We’re living in it today.
What affects some people
influences all in countless ways.
Every man, woman, and child
needs fresh air to breathe in and out.
Every man, woman, and child
must drink pure water from unpolluted spouts.
Every man, woman, and child’s body
requires healthy meals every day.
Every man, woman, and child’s home
can be a place of peace, love, and prayer.
Renegades seek to destroy this world
with vile expressions of hate.
Infecting it with an ongoing, ill-fated,
despicable, crass debate.
Spawning messages of hopelessness
and war-mongering despair.
Propagating a combat-driven universe
of greed, control, and lack of basic care.
Others try to build up our planet.
True equality is what we need.
They safeguard eco resources.
We’re no stronger than our weakest link.
They share wealth and opportunity.
We rise and fall together.
Global citizens seek a safer future.
We are all sisters and brothers.
The term “unity in the community”
reminds us of how and why we are connected.
When our one-room world is cherished
it is sustained, duplicated, and protected.
