We can all make a difference
Regardless of
How we look
Where we are from
Who we love
How old we are
Regardless of
What gods
God
Or no god
We believe in
A simple gesture
And also
A simple mistake
Can have a have a huge
Impact
Make everyone’s heads turn
Like a red Ferrari
Driving by a lonely café
A simple gesture
Can shake up old norms
Like a sleepy old man
Who is shaken awake by his grandson
Many years ago
Deep in the murky
slimy water of
The Holocaust
Anne Frank said:
“How wonderful it is
that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world”
This statement
Rings true today
Not like a jarring school bell
But like a catchy tune
And will ring true
Forever
The Holocaust
And a diary
With an endless shimmering
Waterfall of optimistic
thoughts
Turned a small Jewish girl
Who dreamed of becoming a writer
Into a catalyst
Of hope
For future generations
Sometimes
It takes the most
Horrible
To turn us into
Inspirations
The Holocaust
Turned
Oskar Schindler from an
Avarice
Business man
To a
Savior
For thousands of Jews
Sometimes
We forget
What we have
The power
To accomplish
Against all odds
The Kraus’
A wealthy Jewish family
From Philadelphia
Traveled deep into Nazi Europe and
Saved 50 children from Vienna
The Holocaust
Reminded the Kraus’
Of what their hearts
Were capable of
These people
Made us realize
What we have done
To
Each other
But more importantly
What we can do
For
Each other
Even
In the face of adversity
Especially
In the face of adversity
We can all make a difference
