If Love...

If love knew no colour

If love knew no race

If love saw no age gap

If love saw no face

If love chose no religion

If love was not 'sin'

Then love would see others

Only from within.

If love paid no mind

To politics or borders

If love could just love

Without barking orders.

If love was let be

If love was not judged

Then maybe love so often

wouldn't be begrudged.

If love had no class

No money and no price

Then love could spread,

Turn Earth to paradise.

If love could let go

If love was not posessive

If love could set your soul free

If love was not aggressive.

If love bore no resemblance

To power and control

If love didn't use

another to be whole.

If love wasn't addicted

to texts, emails and screens

Then maybe nowadays love

wouldn't be tearing at the seams.

If we could love freely

and see we're all connected

there wouldn't be injustice

still to be corrected.

If love could find its voice

If love could stand united

Then love would flow openly

Not be so short sighted.

If love could be equal

If love brought no shame

Maybe we could all

Learn to love again.
