if hate
predjudice and exclusion
are significant parts of
your vocabulary
then we don’t
speak the same language
if you think your way is right
and everyone else is a wrong
if you believe what others say
without questioning and without evidence
if you refuse to consider
both sides of an argument
then we’re definitely
not on the same page
if unconditional love
forgiveness and inclusion
are significant parts of
your vocabulary
then we
speak the same language
if you engage and embrace diversity
believe most people are good and kind
if you listen and understand before joining
you change your mind when information is compelling
if you are brave enough
to swim against the current
then let’s be friends
