One Connection
November 3, 2015
How could a peaceful world exist
If the mind that believes
Is fogged in slurs of ignorance,
Is discouraged by a malleable reality,
Or is crushed for fear's sake?
It is the genuine bond felt by pure intention
Of hearts that yearn
For understanding,
For empathy,
And for commitment to happiness.
The link that opens gateways for equality
Is by voices that speak
With a dream of peace,
With compassion for future generations,
And with hope for a better world.

I am a student ambassador from Natomas Charter School's One Voice project, and our goal is to bring peace and understanding between America and other nations by connecting with students internationally. This was the section I wrote for our greater spoken word poetry, where I emphasize the importance and need for one connection globally.
