Just like them.

My hands hold the ones I love
My eyes see the world around me
My voice sings of life's adventures
Speaks of things old and new
Important and trivial

My Mother
My Father

They wanted the best for me
A good life
A happy life

Learning
Loving
Living

I am a human being
Just like you
Just like them

They want a good life
They want their children to be safe
They seek something better

Better than bombs
Better than religious persecution
Better than ignorance and cruelty

Who are you to judge them?
Who are you to decide?
Who are you?

You are a human being
Just like me.
Just.
Like.
Them.

Don't spread the hate.
