Brother

The tragedy unfolds each day in this world as people lose their lives to senseless violence and others who stand by to watch lose their souls.

This is not just the tragedy unfolding in Europe or the US border as desperate people flee danger. It happens every day when we see someone who needs help and do nothing but take a snapshot of it.

We watch as our friends, family or neighbors lose their minds to drugs or alcohol. We labor if we can find work, trying to stay afloat, while others live in the extremes of abject poverty or absolute decadence.

It's each man for himself. We look about us and ask: Am I my brothers keeper?

Until we know ourselves as one, we will not be whole.
