I am an American
I’m a Christian
A Jew
A Muslim
A Buddhist
And Hindu
I am you
I am Iraqi, Swahili,
Indo-Chinese,
Pinoy, Ruskie.
Afghani,
Indian,
Pakistani
Down under and around these
Another beer please
I live in south London
And south Boston too
I am Lesotho
I am free yet enslaved
To the dreams of my fathers
And the antiquated hatred of my brothers
And sisters,
My mother is yours
Our sons are fore
This is the light
The way
We are one family and species and race
We bleed the same
We are born
We breathe
And we die
In the same
Another day
Another way
But we live and die
So brother, let us live
Let us breathe
Let us fight the real fight
To see the light
Of love
And peace
And a safe sleeping night
For our kids’ kids’ kids’
I am everyman
And I am none
I am you and I am no-one
I am here to enlighten you
And to give you peace
If you want it
And you need it
So ask for it
I bid you Peace
-One Who Waits
