IF YOU CAN SEE

If you can see him like your brother
His colour won’t cause you to bother.
You’ll treat him with care
You’ll try to be fair.

If you can see her like your sister
You’ll mind how you treat her.
You’ll assist and not assault her
You’ll protect and not plunder her.

If your can see him like your brother
You’ll defend and not destroy him
You’ll stand by him and not against him
You’ll show him love and not care less.

If you can see her like your sister
You’ll love her like your mother
And not murder her like the others.
You’ll help her stay safe outside
And not force your way inside.

If you can see him like your brother
You’ll know you’re from the same Father.
You’ll be a life Saver
Rather than act like a Smother.

If you can see her like your sister
You should watch her grow and not groan
Help her rise and glow
And not lead her six feet below.
