We do not need to see the images

To know what happened

and what it feels like.

 

We share the same flow

Whether we know this or not

and water runs deeply.

 

By waves and through light

Knowledge comes - not in facts

but by emotion, regardless of race.

 

Understanding follows

instills inside of us the realization

that we are in this together.

 

We share this life. 

With each other.

By choice.
