One (Every)

one man,
one woman...
every star in the night sky.....

every grain of sand,
every wave lost in the ocean.
every leaf falling to the ground...

every hungry mouth,
every tear unnoticed.
every life beaten,

and left by the wayside.
every baby born without direction,
every prayer lost in the

din of hopelessness...
one man,
one woman....

the same!
