A to Z Challenge: X is for Xenos

Xenos means stranger
But does phobia have
To follow?
Why not philia?
What if xenophilia
Replaced xenophobia
In our arrogant vocabularies?
What if we realized that
All of us are strangers
In some fashion or form?
“I was a stranger:
You fed me.
You clothed me.
You gave me a drink.”
Xenophilia in action
Will make the world
Better.
Safer.
Saner.
And just maybe
Bring a little heaven
To earth.
