Is there a shortcut to my humanity?
Can I carve my way through coldheartedness and apathy
To find the antedote to bigotry
my own and others

Somebody help me please
To no longer be a bystander
Gagged and silent
When atrocities occur every day.
In my own heart I turn a blind eye to intimate terrorism
Making it okay to despise and disparage The person I most rely on
It isn’t ok.
Your so-called humility,
Your refusal to love yourself,
makes you Unkind, in human,
I’m not saying it’s easy
I’m saying it’s necessary.
A worthy endeavour
A mountain to climb maybe
But as we courageously turn our eyes to the summit
Help will come our way.

‘At the moment of commitment
The entire universe conspires to assist you.’ Goethe
