We Are Connected
Although everyone is an individual,
we are all connected
Having a living body on earth
at this time makes
us accountable to each other
When things happen
in the universe collectively
it affects everyone singularly
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
is not just a question
the answer is a truth
I’m responsible for you
as well as you are for me
No matter how much we may deny it
We all came to be
by way of two biblical firsts
and one master creator
When the world is in trouble,
we are all in trouble
and when we are all in trouble
We are driven to work fiercely together
to solve our way out of it
Our connection to each other
runs deep and strong,
yet invisible until
the need arise to be made known
I have so much hope
the connection will one day
shine bright enough for all to see
and become a permanent light
that will illuminate the world
