As I read your poem, it made me think of John Lennon's classic, Imagine. Let us hope we do not have to imagine much longer. As a disabled person, I was different. Many who knew me, thought of me as strong and resourceful, and didn't bother to help if I needed help. On the other hand, whenever I needed help out in public, people of all creeds and colors, stopped to give me a hand. We are all good and kind to those we do not fear. But unnatural fear is worse than no fear at all.

This reflective of MLK's dream, now, finally becoming the dream of many who are beginning to realize the extent of the problem. Beautifully written and evocative.

The whole world is a community. Especially now when confronted with a threat that teaches us all equally. The danger is creating small communities that are isolated from the reality of the larger whole that humanity is.

I hope they are not fair weather friends and then gone. I hope they are real friends and when they hear your plea, will return to those familiar places where you have seen them before.
Just when I get to know an author here on AD, they disappear. Perhaps it's because they can't pay for a membership. Perhaps it's worse. Perhaps they are ill. Perhaps they even have died. After 10 years, so many have come and gone. But a few people hanging around and reappearing like forever. And that makes all the difference.
