In a world
– where we look for differences before we accept,
– where we only accept through our own lens,
– where when our experiences cannot explain we deny,
– where our fear in the unfamiliar overrides the delight of being curious,
– where we shut down instead of open to new possibilities,
– where our comforts justify destruction and pain,
– where our words manipulate and hurt in the guise of concern and care,
…
“And when the whole damn world
Don’t know what they got ’til it’s gone
I love you
I love you as you are”
