Unity

This is another of my poems/writings, written very early in the morning and re-drafted a few times before finally I was happy with it:

Unity,

What was that?

Unity!

Oh, we will have to pay for that,

It is not the cost that worries me,

It is the outcome that matters,

We will not pay with lives.

As in war and in peacetime,

Nor in money as in the current monetary-market system,

But we will pay in time,

With strength, effort, thought,

Intelligence, idea, speech, rationality and the arts,

The message of unity will be paid for in full,

And the benefits will be for everyone on this Earth,

To live, for free.
