If Only

Fear of sanity
Imprisons men in their minds
Robs their brothers of salvation and cure
Takes toll on a tortuous world

If only men share
Not of their purses
But of their thoughts
Of their exclusive perspectives

If only protection of image
Was not the principal concern
But the wellbeing of thy neighbors
Priority would humble itself to share in seclusion

Wills would be firm
Compassion concrete
Brotherhood bolstered
Humanity would rather smile
Than snigger in salutation
