King for a Day

Make a difference.
Aim for the sky.
Respect others.
Think big.
Inform yourself always;
No one else can be you.
Love as you want to be loved,
Unify when you can,
Tomorrow may be your last day.
Heaven is what you make of it.
Evangelize only words of hope,
Remove barriers where they oppress.
Kindly
Impart
Noble
Gifts.
Be King for a day and show peace in action.
9/11, 24/7
16 years ago today in September
An evil, senseless, heartless act
Changed many lives forever.
Alas, it was not the beginning
Nor close to the end, it just keeps spreading;
The endless taking of human life,
There is no reason.
Prance with arrogance, respect becomes a speck.

Unite all humanity,
See through the inanity
Of division and inequality.
Have no lessons been learned
From past acts of people burned?
Blood and tears seem all that’s been earned.
Classicism,
Racism,
Other types of separatism.
All such negativity
Can only create a proclivity
To increase destructivity.
Clearly, the wrong ways;
Let’s stop the craze,
Time to start a new phase.
Speak respectfully,
Have empathy,
Achieve unity . . . and the darkness will lift.
