Diversity




gays hunted in Russia
and not only there
it is often still a crime
to love your own gender

maybe not out of law
but criticisms of humanity
who do not understand
that heart and soul are one

stop with the judgments
what is wrong with love
connecting with a soul
from the depth of a heart

love is a universal thing
and can  be given to
anybody you thinks deserve it
and is not mend to hide

out of fear for prison
or be beaten to death
to be treated as a outcast
just because a person dares

live and let live is a true saying
it can open up our hearts
so earth can heal the Universal Love
she needs to continue her existence

Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
