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.
