Too Much To Lose
I may not see your light but I can see the sun.
I may not feel your night but that moon cast shadows on everyone.
The song that you sing is a tune to which I can’t dance.
The theories you bring don’t calculate in these hands.
Though we see the horizon our compositions are not the same.
We stand and see each other.
We can appreciate or we can agitate.
We can aggravate or conciliate.
We can fight with fists of anger or we smile with hands to shake.
We are human but not the same.
We are different in politics, in histories, in cultures and in how we live but for the sake of humanity, for the sake of all to live we must refrain from living to satisfy the evil craving and desire of someone else’s hate.
