If flesh did not exist
if blood no longer spilled
and minds no longer plotted,
would you accept me?
If you looked inside
and saw my soul
could you open your heart
to the child inside
extend your smile
and help me grow?
Would you love me
for who I am
celebrate our diversities
and realize
we compliment each other?
Do you know my name
spoken in tongues
of many nations
inviting my presence?
Humanity!
