One Love
One Love
By Rebecca Dominique Morris
What’s the difference between you and me
Why can’t we be who we were meant to be
Is it because your black and I’m white?
Because your complexions darker and mine is light?
Do we not all bleed the same blood?
Why is my race a barrier and something that can’t be understood?
Just because we were born of different origin
Doesn’t mean you should judge me because of the colour of my skin
Our differences shouldn’t define what our souls feel
Is what we feel not real ?are we not both human and do our hearts not beat the same way?
Do we not live in the same world where the sun rises and falls each day ? Is it not the same god to who we pray?
Why aren’t our minds and body allowed to connect
Why is that something that we have to forget
That people tell us they cannot accept and therefore we should regret
Was love not created to unite
Denial of a basic human right
So why allow it to be defined
As despite my complexion , we are all gods creation and one mankind
