The All.

All I pray (for)

Is that I share the pain of my brother

And not be indifferent to his suffering
Not hide dishonorably and watch without seeing

All I ask

Is that I will not accept any war
And not let evil defeat me again
Not let happiness be suppressed as a wage for injury

All I seek

Is that I will let the future of a refugee
And his forced departure to a foreign land
Not be passed by indifferently by me and others

All I desire

Is that I will not tolerate human betrayal
And bravely defy the deception so that never, ever
The maverick or the group is given the room to forget

All I beg

Is that I not now, not ever will close my eyes
And without so much as a gesture or a single word
Not grant the cold killer to smite even one innocent being

All I wish

Is that I learn to embrace love
And have an eye for the souls that belong to us
Not only direct my view inwards and not see the All.
