No border of land can still a voice

that sings beyond the seas

of east to west – neither the

color of skin suppress the

cry of humanity.

While eyes may Passover

the grievous wrongs –

getting fresher everyday,

our steely interiors will shine

no more amidst

So

much

decay.

Connecting one on one

perhaps all can be saved –

Yet why does it take

a Pulitzer for this

to be ever said?
