How Far Must I Go?

A Sime~Gen Free Verse Poem

By William Long



How far must I go to see what is called Unity?

To the edge of the world as I know it?

How far must I go to see what is called Unity? Across the great waters to other places, where there may be those that can live not as two, but one.

How far must I go to see what is called Unity? Away from all people who hate and fear? Away from all those that seek to Kill and maim?

However, what can I do when I feel the urge to hurt and Kill?

How far must I go to see what is called Unity? Therefore, I do not act on how I feel when I see someone that is not like me.

How far must I go to see what is called Unity? To a place that is far away from where I am now.

I know that I must go a long way to reach what is called Unity, because I know that there is still fear in my heart.
