It Is Time To Become Citizens Of The World Poem by Terence George Craddock

we divide
we divide into
religions

cultures
cities
countries

class divisions
political divisions
ethnic divisions

it was Socrates who said
"I am not an Athenian or a Greek
but a citizen of the world."

it was Terence George Craddock who said
"wisdom is always philosophy without nationality"
it is time to see past divisions and embrace

all of humanity especially
the so called untouchables
the poor and social outcasts

it is time
to become
citizens of the world
