Internationalism
What a concept for our times!
After all, not perilous are all -isms.
Internationalism . . .
a passionate dedication to world peace . . .
hence, the key to the betterment of humanity.
I dream of the day
when, across the board,
our curricula dons finally
a sweeping devotion to humanism,
an unconditional inclusion-ism.
A dream, not impossible to make true . . .
If only
each of us
were to aspire
to inhale and exhale
as the likes of Henry La Fontaine!
