Two Towns Away

5/29/2017

If I was born two towns away,
Maybe I wouldn't know you the same way.


Maybe I would be wearing a scarf around my head.
Maybe I would have a Quraan by my bed.


If I was born two towns away,
Maybe I wouldn't grab my rosary to pray.


Maybe I would be fasting till "Iftar".

Even when the sunset seems so far.


If I was born two towns away
"Allah Akbar" I would say.


For the matter of fact I do so today,
Except my statement ends in a different way.


I am Christian without a doubt of who Jesus is;
I am Christian knowing that loving your enemy is a teaching of His.


Yet I do want to say,
If I was born two towns away
Maybe I wouldn't know you the same way


What if I was them and they were me?
Would they still call me the enemy?


Would we still they deserve to die?
Would we be deaf to the heart-wrenching cry?


I wasn't born two towns away,
but I want to love them anyway.
