Love and Care
We love our parents
We defend our brothers
and our sisters, fiercely,
from verbal or physical assault
Some love their co-religionist
At least, they may care about him
When their co-religionist cries in
Australia, they can feel his pain in Canada
How much love can you feel for someone
whose language, whose religion
whose race is different from your own?
Can love, can care, be legislated?
