People of Europe,
and people of United States,
hear the voice
of a painful truth.
Your arrogance
has built walls
around your souls.
Walls so high
that you no longer see
your own reflection.
Walls so strong
that you struggle
to recognize
the humanity
of others.
And every wall
built against others
eventually becomes
a prison
for those within.
You speak
of human rights.
But too often,
only for yourselves.
You speak
of peace.
But too often,
only for yourselves.
You speak
of justice.
But too often,
only for yourselves.
History remembers.
And so does
the universe.
Oppression
has a price.
Exploitation
has a cost.
For every action,
there is a reaction.
In science,
it is a law.
In the East,
it is called karma.
And in the Bible,
it is written:
“A man reaps
what he sows.”
No empire
escapes this truth.
No nation
is exempt.
No civilization
stands above it.
For God
is the ultimate accountant.
Patient.
Silent.
Precise.
And every debt
is eventually counted.
We live
in an age
of great change.
An age
that demands
balance.
An age
that demands
reflection.
Remember this—
Whatever grows
beyond measure
in nature,
nature itself
eventually corrects.
Such is the law
of life.
Such is the law
of history.
Europe.
America
Look within
before looking outward.
For the greatest judgment
is not the one
that comes from enemies.
It is the one
that comes
from truth itself.
And truth,
however delayed,
always arrives.
