We've had hundreds,
Even thousands,
Of years and
We still haven't figured it out?
Our stories on love.
Our lessons.
Our deep regrets.
Are they Lies?
Choices are made each moment.
Could it be
We really just don't care?
We don't know how
To take care of each other?
Or
Do we choose not to?
What if taking care of each other
was the answer?
What if having this priority shaped a world
Where you could speak?
You could feel?
You could be vulnerable?
Sure, there's more to it.
But we could have a different layout.
A different response.
A different plan.
Our automatic action is one of love
A turning toward
What if turning toward fixed everything?
Because everything
Needs to be fixed.
