In This World

Knowledge is power,
And technology its greatest tool.

Our hands may use either to enslave,
Or to liberate.

But it’s our heart that dictates
The many deeds our hands will disseminate.

And so here we are, again, a place in time where
We must stand to face ourselves and each other to ask:

We have the power and tools to enslave,
or to liberate.

How will history remember us as it discriminates among
These many labors our hearts and hands do make?

Will it find more love,
Or pointless hate?
