I do not mistake sincerity for truth
I do not mistake hope for result
I do not look at numbers as proof
I do not look for truth in debate or insult
I do not consider volume of voice
to make a point any less moot
We all long to find God
We all desire to be near
We are all equal in God’s eyes
We are all born of flesh
We are all worthy of love
I refuse to be cynical
Towards another’s faith
I refuse to question another
When my own path is not clear
I refuse to stop loving
Due to a difference
Due to fear
Due to where I was born
Due to the color of my skin
Due to not seeing myself
In others
As if looking in a mirror
