Is it still called dawn
If the sun doesn’t show up

Is it still called spring
If the cherry blossoms don’t bloom

Is it still called friendship
If you only speak what the other wants to hear

Is it still called a team
If every failure calls for a prey

Is it still called a community
If you only know neighbors that speak your tongue

Is it still called a living
If the only persons you relate to are long dead

Is it still called a religion
If it asks its believers to love only thy faith

Is it still called democracy
If might makes for right

Is it still called humanity
If our collective failures define our destinies
