Understand
by JG Smith
When I look at what it is to be human,
I see the pain and suffering we all go through.
Some more than others.
I see the inability of others to see the anguish in their friend…
in their foe.
I see the discrimination… the hatred… the egotistical world view.
I see the cries…
Cries for help…
Cries for love…
Cries for acceptance…
We want to be understood…
Because, to love is to know…
And to know, to understand.
