Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

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?
