195

195 countries on this earth
195 potentials for cultural prejudice
195 possibilities of national pride
195 opportunities for oppression
in the name of patriotism
or despotism
or the greater good
Perhaps there can be 195 paths
to heal all differences
195 ways to come together
195 threads to connect with the past
195 views to understand the present
195 dreams to create a future
an endless number of roads to reach Nirvana
