Love, and words like freedom

Freedom, he said and marched.
A skinny, old fakir,
Followed by a peaceful mob,
Broke the rule
For a pinch of salt.

Dream, I have a dream…
Millions listened to the King.
Black or white.

With passion, an airplane flew
For 16 seconds.
But the flight
Turned the century.

With hope, a young girl wrote
The most memorable diary
Of our times.

Hatred. For six million Jews.
“Are we waiting for another Gandhi?”
Ask the survivors of the Holocaust.

Love, I wrote your name
On the window pane
On a cold, wintry night.

And even the window cried…
