Notes About The Poem

We All Love

A Christian family will wake up every morning, 
Brush their teeth, get dressed and go to work,
And have a dog, a car and strive to be happy, 
Regardless if they’re Greek or Aussie or Turk.

And a Muslim family will relax in their home, 
Talk and laugh about what happened that day.
And they all have big ambitions to contribute, 
And be social with cheese and a fine cabernet.

While a Pagan family love to go to the beach,
Go swimming, light a fire and play games.
And then, at home, developing their pictures,
And hanging them around the house in frames.

We are all the same, alike, we’re all an equal,
In the way we live, love, lust, grow, and share.
Regardless of our religious bend we all help,
We all love peace and security, we all care.
