You want to give him a home but not me? Why? Is it because he is blonde and blue eyed? You feel his pain and not mine? Why? Because he is white and resembles you? He has suffered pain and injustice you say But so have I and for much longer You say you care about human suffering so why ignore mine? Am I not human?

What is Home? Home is safety Home is freedom Home is peace Home is tranquility Home is my safe space Home is rest and relaxation Home is office and work Home is peace from a turbulent World Home is reflection Home is what I want it to be Most of all Home is me

What is behind the smile? Behind the smile there is pain Behind the smile one finds struggle Behind the smile there are issues Do not assume anothers life is wonderful simply because it appears so We are all on the same journey; one that brings with it hardship and pain The smile can lie, deceive and mislead But keep smiling because misery brings with it its own woes

I seek and I search But I don’t find Why this longing? What am I searching for? Is it eternal or temporal? Are the answers within or without? The search is at once both fascinating and interminable Perhaps one day this longing will come to an end? Surely it has too? Or does it?

Remember if you take another’s land You will long be despised Perpetual conflict will be your predicament Don’t forget they cherish their children, their identity and their dreams as much as you do yours You can hurt, mistreat or even kill but you will never take away what defines their very being Give them the dignity that you deserve and peace and harmony will be your reward
