One Love: An answer to New Zealand's terrorist attack.
To see the beautiful land called New Zealand
That produces our halal lamb
And the accent of the British and Aussie in one
Now to see slaughtered instead
Women, children, disabled men, whilst praying
In the House of God
On Juma was a shock; insane calculated Islamophobia it seem.
But to see how humanity came forward against evil
To watch a leader wear the hijab with her Irish colors
Ready to ban guns and get rid of bigotry
This is the type of leaders we want, not flattery.
It's easy to pray and easier to tweet messages of condolences
But to talk, to meet, to cry, to invite, to do something like save a life
That takes courage which we lack
Didn't we learn from Taif? Or from the wife of the wheelchair husband?
I can hardly imagine what tears the mothers carry
What pain the fathers fetch
The hurt of a young widow
The magnanimity of the husband to forgive the terrorist
But we will prevail
The love shown by the majority of the world
The brotherhood enjoyed by the many others so far
The tears we see on the faces of even murderers
That shit is real!
Don't make us feel like victims every time hate spills
Stand up against hate wherever you are like One Love
And that will bring down the House of White supremacy!
