Because...


Because I am of you I will not hurt you

But I have,

Becuase you feed me, I will not hurt you

But I have.

But I love you.

Because you can't speak, I will for you.

But I am a contradiction, that will always love you.  

Because they can not see you for who you are, I will tell them

But I am afraid

Because of greed, power, mass genocide, and hegemony

It is hard. Because I contribute to this power. This power of need.

But I don't. But I do. It's all Because I love you.
