Respect Connects
I respect your religion said no man ever
Our views--differing, but my respect will last forever
It is what connects us
When our differences separate us
My religion is often what sets me apart
But just because that is different
Does not mean that inside exists no heart
Those who have no heart
Are they who cannot accept and respect
They seem to have a defect
They say opposition deserves disdain
And sameness earn acceptance
And sadly that is exactly what our world is like today
Where differentiation recieves rejection
And uniformity recieves approval
But I dream of an unrealistic world
Where different opinions and views connect us
Where we find similarities in our differences
Where we don't have to be uniform to be accepted
I dream of this world where respect connects
