Declaration of Interdependence

1 min read

On this day

of celebrating

independence,

I declare

interdependence

a new truth

to be held

self-evident,

humanity

created free,

interdependent

on each other;

I declare

what defeats

and hurts

any human,

anywhere,

also defeats

and hurts me;

suppression

in any corner

of Earth

suffocates,

narrows

the air of the

whole planet:

like uncontrolled

emissions

the anguish

of those yearning

to breathe free

one day

may vanquish

all of us

unless we free

ourselves

to declare

on this first Day

of Interdependence:

“No one is free

until all of us

are free!”
