Community

Take my hand, he said.
And she did.
For this was what would save her today,
this was what she needed.

It was the only thing he had.
It became the perfect miracle.

(written by me, inspired by the following words by Steven Biko)

*


We regard our living together not as an unfortunate mishap
warranting endless competition among us
but as a deliberate act of God
to make us a community of brothers and sisters
jointly involved in the quest for a composite answer
to the varied problems of life.

Steven Biko

WOW, a powerful piece of poetry Sara. A good quote from Steven Biko too. I only know a little about him from the movie "Cry Freedom" and the song by Joan Baez. Good inspirational words in this world.
