Quiet the noise of your preconceptions,
silence the prejudices of your ancestors,
stifle the anger of that wounded child inside.
Listen - with your eyes,
let them look into those of another,
not in recognition of difference -
but in knowledge of sameness.
See - with your ears,
open them to the story of your brother,
not hearing what you look for,
but comprehending his message -
you'll find yourself in it.
Find one another in this common place,
where nonsense of differences may be cast aside,
where desires we share draw us together.
Here we will be able to master our dreams,
here we can work together to achieve
the greatness we were made for.
