Eyes

Viewed differently, every eye looks the same.

Each looks on its newborn and learns life’s purpose.

Each looks on death and weeps.

Each looks for nourishment because its life matters.

Each looks for mercy when weak.

Each looks at freedom as life’s one bliss.

Each looks from corners for escape.

Each looks upon life, knows wants from needs.

Each looks for justice and pleads.

...

Look through their eyes.

See yourself.
