A new place-
frightening, yet exciting,
limitless possibilities
couched in the possibility of unknown dangers.

A new face-

hidden behind a wall of our own fears and prejudices.
How admirable,
would it be if we
could keep the optimal,
and throw out the pestilence in our isms.

the work we choose to do,
the lives we work to make.
All make
