He,
is but a dust of the earth
a molecule in the entire universe...
He
limits himself to creed
and binds himself in race
not knowing that he
does not exist for himself
nor for his peers alone...
For he
is a child of the earth
and the son of the universe;
a moon to smile over mankind
and a sun to brighten the faces of those in the dark...
He
may be Aristotle or Elizabeth
or simply the ragged and torn man on the street
no matter who he is
he breaths the same air breath by all;
hesleeps under the common sky,
a sky that knows no creed
and prefers no specific religion nor race...
For he
is a he for the rest of the world.
How do you like the poem?

Universal truth here demonstrated in a compelling piece that makes the reader delve deep and think at least for a moment - we should stand and stare however briefly.

I enjoyed the flow and message of the poem!
It really appeals to all...it speaks in layers to be
enjoyed! It also pulls us together very gently reminding
us how important it is to remember they we all occupy
and feel in this world so very populated presently.
