Our world becoming aware
coming alive, a viral
nation
one people, without
borders
a wellspring, a wave,
tsunami
a truth urgent, undeniable
but some much else silent
invisible, not rising to
the light
to stop the killing,
genocide
ethnic cleansing,
religious persecution
greed guiding too many
steps
alive, on the news, 24 X
7,
by awakening from slumber,
complacent
the world will be watching,
real-time
to end the horror, the
violence
not national interest,
freedom
but the waking of the
world
across the flickering
screens
pulsing on the laptops,
the smartphones
to change the whole earth,
afire
to end the violence,
ignored
to save these children,
Uganda
because it is right, moral
no more bloodshed, war
hope in our sights,
justice
but what of so many others
hidden in the shadows
not awakening the
consciousness
the imagination of the
world
