Need for Humanity
The mistress clicks in floating five inches off the ground
The dog leads the girl strapped in purple Chaco’s with knotted hair
The foreigners travel in their bunch, “not understanding” tax
His altered judgment filled his mind with delusions and contentment
The dental assistant, hands on top her hips, questions fill the room
The black car mechanic with white palms leans worn on his cobalt truck
The elfin man from the trailer park brings rapture to the community with joy like ecstasy
(you would never know he was from the trailer park)
The inexperienced constantly mending fences with amiable words
The twosome connected through compassionate fingertips
The camouflaged man coaching his son to slay and explore
The newborn gripped by the green mother
The adventurer bearing candy bars scampers around the congested parking lot
The weighed down man, palms face up, destitute for a humane hand
(dissimilar to the deprived alcoholic)
The colleagues of decades shout in affectionate tones
The inspired photographer searching for mountains and humanity
Humanity, without it we don't know difference
Humanity, without it we are alone
Humanity, without it we don't know compassion
Humaity, there's nothing more I want
