Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.”
― Horace Mann
____________________________________________
How do we “undo” the world?
How do we take this creation
Created in love
By One who is love
And unravel it,
Destroy it?
We can do it, you know,
One person at a time?
All we have to do is fail to see people
People in need
People who are hurting
People who are alone
People who are afraid…
All we have to do is fail to see the person in front of us
Perhaps because all we can see is our self
And do nothing
For them
When we vote for “us” and forget them
We worry only about what will make us richer and more
powerful
But ignore the impact on others
When we hug our resources to ourselves
And fail to give to those who have nothing
It is not only our undoing ultimately
As a person
But our undoing as a nation
Our undoing as a world
We are designed
To help each other.
