Love Poem: Your Choice

Your Choice

Though we come from different places
different cultures…have different faces

and we may not understand what each of us is saying
who we love, the way we live or to whom or how we’re praying

I hope one day we’ll understand…and happily exclaim
despite our undeniable differences…
we’re basically the same

How the love that brought us into this world…
still plays an important role
as caretaker of our heart and keeper of our soul.

How there is a universal language…
perhaps handed down from up above
a language spoken without words…
a language we call love.

But there is another universal language
that has reared it’s head of late
It too can be spoken without words…
a language we call hate.

These two languages are currently in a battle…
we have reached a ‘D Day’ state
and the final outcome of this battle 
will determine all our fates…

For only one can...
the other has to loose
So the question for the world becomes…
which language will you choose?
