A Multiculture Peace
I met a Muslim family living down the road,
And I thought they’d be different in every kind of way.
But in the mornings they just wake up, get dressed,
Feed the cat, and they do this every single day.
Beside them lives a retired Jewish couple, two cars and a dog,
Their son had moved across town.
Their son moved in with an African woman
Who wears her kaftan, and head dress with a gown.
And the family run shop down the corner,
With the friendly Asian guy always ready for a chat.
That’s where I met the Brazilian theatre performer,
And she invited me to her show called “Acrobat”.
At the gig I sat beside an Egyptian guy,
He was so in awe just like he was holding his new born.
He was there with his French lover,
And we all talked and laughed and shared some popcorn.
It turns out everyone I met in life from every cultural hub,
Has the same desires, wants and needs.
It’s the politicians spreading hate and fear to exclude,
And regular folk planting the inclusive seeds.
