The greater the distance, the less empathy – Is that really the way it must be? No comprehension of what others endure – We deny our involvement in the plight of the poor.
Our empires were built on other people’s graves – We stole all their land and turned them into slaves. Our wealth has resulted from mass genocide. Our cities bear the scars of those who have died.
The World has enough for everyone’s need, But global wealth distribution is feeble indeed. It’s not charity – it’s an obligation To repay what was stolen creating this nation.
