The symbol of courage
that stays firm
in our souls since
the terrorist attack in New York
is not hatred,
It is not vengeance,
It is not the bombing
of innocent people
in other countries,
It is not the pride of being
citizens of the most rich
and powerful country
in the world.
It is the conviction that
only hope for justice,
and belief in equality and
universal solidarity
work in opposition
to patriotic hate.
Someday we will make
simple humanitarian love
our first welcome wish
to all dissidents of our
politics of power.
