Why do we see justice as blind
when, in truth, she must be able to see
more clearly than all of us in order
for any of us to be free?
Why do we seek peace with a sword
when swords only divide; bombs cannot bind?
Together is how we must learn to be,
Living as one, all humankind.
How can we value our freedom
yet use that freedom to oppress others?
We trap ourselves in our contradiction;
our own liberty then suffers.
We say that love is the center
of all that we are, of all we can be.
If that is true we must learn from each other,
reach out in trust and harmony.
