At this instant 8
billion hearts pump
fuel to burn for birth,
work, war, talk, love,
joy, grief, hope... and
to keep greed, fear,
faith, and learning alive.
Each heart the same:
muscles, valves,
arteries. Electric
currents. But invented
differences reign,
brainlessly, with terror,
as if each heart were
not of similar design.
It's always a good
time to change, none
better than now. How?
Keep asking. Think of
8 billion hearts, their
syncopated beats.
