Place my hand on the world

Will I snatch,
human like,
and grab, greedy fisted?

Will I pummel,
brutalise,
and eradicate my humanity?

Will I torture,
commodify,
living creatures and worldly kin?

Or will I reach out
in soft caress
of compassion?

A dissolution of blindness
and capitalist driven
control.

A kindness,
for all life.
All species.

I place my hand on the world –
in hope.

hands on the world
