I have come into this world to see this:

the sword drop from men's hands even at the height

of their arc of anger

because we have finally realized there is just

one flesh to wound.

I have come into this world to see this:

all creatures hold hands as

we pass through this

miraculous existence we share on the way

to even greater being of soul.

I have come into the world to experience this:

men so true to love

they would rather die before speaking an

unkind word

because we have finally realized

there is just one flesh

we can wound.
