If I call you stupid
Will that make you smart?
If you call me a bully
Will that make me kind?
If I speak first
Will that keep you from talking?
If you go on and on and on
Will that make me understand?
If we call ourselves religious,
Will God be on everyone’s side?
Shall we find out?
What happens if we listen
To understand?
What happens if we differ
And the world continues to turn?
What happens if we learn
To live with discomfort?
What happens if we love each other
Even if we disagree?
What happens if we admit
That sometimes we are wrong?
Shall we find out?
Amen
