Be Human, and Be Silent " sonnet "
Do not e'er pretend to be a human
when openly you show different creed
you betray the innocent words you lead
still you are lost between sage and demon
Before turning the words to the outside
Your ego's thirst for advice much needed
And your psyche's sickness even be heeded
Be first a child, with whimsical inside
Being human is to love the whole world
Black, white, Moslim, and Jewish, Poor and Rich
Empathy for them, a feeling for each
Mindful to give every one their own word
Don't claim sympathy, and humanity
Until inside you, you reach harmony
