We Are One
By Ano
nymous

I don’t believe in God 
But I am a religious person. 
No, I’m not a Satanist 
And no, I don’t go to church 
But I don’t need to, because even so, 
Christianity taught me to love and accept 
Islam taught me work lots and love more 
Judaism taught me to never give up 
Sikhism taught me respect 
And still 
Atheism taught me to read 
Hinduism taught me to believe 
Buddhism taught me to breathe 
And Taoism taught me there is bad and there’s good and that’s okay 
So why hate and berate 
When you can 
Elate and relate 
Because someone out there 
Loves you 
Maybe your mum, dad, sister, brother, lover, high school class mate, that homeless guy down the road, or the person who got life from your two pound a month 
Or 
Me 
Don’t live in the dark when your hand is on the light switch 
You just gotta 
Take the leap 
Because you might fly 
And 
If you fall 
Then you know you’re a man 
Because you 
Believe 
Breathe 
Read 
Work 
Accept 
Love 
And respect 
And you try 
And sure, you’re at the bottom of a cliff 
With your spine in two 
But don’t tell me the wind in your face 
Didn’t mean something to you 
Don’t tell me you learnt no hope when 
You flew 
Through the air 
And if you turn around you’ll find 
There’s more of us down here than 
There are on top of that cliff 
And down here you fit it 
You might be a boy or girl 
Gay or straight 
Black or white 
Wrong or right 
But either way 
We love you 
I love you 
And if you love me too 
I will be here for you 
When you need me 
In sickness and in health 
In poorness or in wealth 
In life or in death because 
In this messed up, sick, twisted world 
In philosophy, psychology, ecology, biology, 
We are one. 
Because God might have given us love 
But religion can give us life.
