what has the world come to today
when we have to claim
that black lives
matter
as
well
do we live on animal farm

are much more
equal
than
rest

Reena’s Exploration Challenge – Week 47
A beautiful take on being human ….
One of the lessons in life I have learned is to never assume to have knowledge of the limit of how human we are.
Around us, we are constantly reminded of man’s inherent evil towards each other, and at the same time, we are urged to take notice of man’s desire to help one another when disaster occurs.
We watch the news daily to the bewildering amount of destruction we bring to one another all in the name of some remote political cause or religious driven act that either way leaves us speechless.
In recent times we have been captivated by the bravery and ingenuity of people around the world coming together to assist people in need.
The story of the Thailand soccer team and the extraordinary actions of their rescuers leaves me in awe even after reading the story of so many brave acts.
