One
We do not need 10 commandments
Just this one truth
There are no divisions we are one
One mind one body one soul
One life one planet just one
So this is my plea this is my cry
If you do not understand I cannot tell you why
It is the ground under my feet
And my eye in the skies
I am one
When you see your brothers and sisters and say
Hey, how ya doing? Are you good?
Remember we are one
We all need something
Like the truth in the center
Of all the spokes in a wheel
Surrounded in hope and love
I honestly see we are one
Black white brown yellow and red
Gay straight queer square
We are all eating from the same plate
And sleeping in one bed
When we think of each other instead of fear
Accept each other as one
When you see a sick puppy
Or a wolf pack on the attack why stay back?
Can’t you see we are in one condition
And behave as one?
Look at us and yourself in the mirror
Because everything is one
Now who said let there be no divisions among us?
There are none here with one
There are no fences cells prisons or walls
They are all a dream an illusion we are one
I am one
You are one person with one perspective
Born with one will and one tongue
At one time from one mother
Just one
If you seek the truth then you are one
If we’d all love our enemies…
Well I’d guess there would be none!
Are you one?
There are no enemies in one
One mind body soul life planet just one
We are one the Christian Muslim Jew
Animist Humanist Atheist Hindu
Wiccan Pagan the Zen Buddhists too
The agnostics are ahead of me here
You all knew …. there might be one
And here it is because we are one
Seeking wisdom truth and honesty
Understanding acceptance and forgiveness
Praying meditating and debating
Who has the best answer?
How to attain nirvana?
Will I be accepted in heaven?
Are we really separated by love people?
What are we arguing about?
Whatever it is the answer is we are one
Like one truth in the center
Of all the spokes in a wheel
Surrounded in hope and love
I honestly believe that we are one
Preacher and sinner one
Cops robbers judges prisoners one
Dealers addicts Bloods Crips hoes and pimps
One
Soldiers generals president pope one
Kings queens and refugees
One life love hope dream and one fear
The past the present the future
Right here and now is one
The oppressors and the oppressed one
The rich and the homeless one
In the ghetto the mansion the igloo the shack
The tee pee the longhouse
Wherever ONE is at
I am my temple our temple is we
Let us be at home as one just like
One truth in the center
Of all the spokes in a wheel
Surrounded in hope and love
I honestly believe the truth is
We all are this
One
I really love this… It would make a great spoken word piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Actually it is. There’s video of “one” on this blog and live performance video on YouTube.
