Hello

Too often we
Are afraid to say
Hello to strangers,
Worried by different
Customs values beliefs.
Better to make friends of
Those whose societies are
As strange to us as our society
Must seem to them on TV or the
Movies DVDs tapes cassettes films
Or books magazines and online
Though in too many countries
Online access is blocked by
Governments fearing their
Own people will want the
Things they see or hear
About that we here do
Take for granted or
Shall we cocoon
Until we too are
Blocked from
Ideas others
Enjoy each
Day like
Affordable
Prescription drugs
Housing transportation
Medical care that are
Rumored to exist in
Other countries
Who tax the
Very rich to
Help the
Poor
And preserve
Our middle class.
Or have I gone
Too far, said
Too much,
Hello?
