I Am. You Are.

When the one who is hungry reminds me of me

When the lonely one is my twin brother

When the broken one is my only son

When the immigrant is me

When the prisoner is myself

When the dead child is mine

When the crying mother is me

When the girl cutting herself is making me bleed

When the boy under the rubble crushes my chest

When the drowned baby in the pool keeps me from breathing

When the hopeless woman pushes a cart down the sidewalk filled with everything I own

When the other is no other than me and I am no other than you

When we become one

When we become we

When we all wake up

When we all see clearly

When?
