Peace

I will not love you because you are poor,
I will not love you because you are rich,
I will not love you because you toil in a tower,
I will not love you because you dig in a ditch.

I will not love you because you are white,
I will not love you because you are black,
I will not love you because you speak with song,
I will not love you because speech you lack.

I will love you because you are here on this earth.
I will love you because you are there in the sky.
I will love you even if you never love me,
I will love you with every breath of my life.
