There may not be a hell, but those who judge may create one. I think people are over-taught. They are over-taught everything. You have to find out by what happens to you, how you will react. I__l have to use a strange term here_ __ood._ I don__ know where it comes from, but I feel that there__ an ultimate strain of goodness born in each of us. I don__ believe in God, but I believe in this __oodness_ like a tube running through our bodies. It can be nurtured. It__ always magic, when on a freeway packed with traffic, a stranger makes room for you to change lanes_ it gives you hope.

THE CONSCIOUS HUMANYou are not just white,but a rainbow of colors.You are not just black,but golden.You are not just a nationality,but a citizen of the world.You are not just for the right or left,but for what is right over the wrong.You are not just rich or poor,but always wealthy in the mind and heart.You are not perfect, but flawed.You are flawed, but you are just.You may just be conscious human,but you are also a magnificentreflection of God.Suzy Kassem__he Conscious Human_ Poetry by Suzy Kassem
