Where is Sociology going ?
What are sociologists studying?
What are social institutions doing ?

So many branches of Sociology there are
for a myriad number of issue to probe
you can help your relevant science go far

If to a new,deeply humanizing goal you aspire
and to a global nonkilling approach you commit
a corresponding Nonkilling Socioly you´ll inspire
