What If…

What if?
[We all]
Drove a Subaru?
Studied the Torah?
Ate vegan cheese?
Prayed 4x a day?
What if:
[We all]
Loved our collards?
Read the Constitution?
Got on our knees?
Asked, Como estas?
What if:
Race and religion 
were as fluid as gender?
What if kindness and compassion 
were all that was taught?
Where would that take us?
What elevation! 
Humans,
Being, 
Human,
Not humans,
Being bought.
What if
We cared for our brothers,
Regardless of color?
Raised up our sisters,
Regardless of size?
What if?
We taught all our children 
We’re one and the same!
We can weep in collective,
Remember our names!
What if?
This world we’ve been granted 
Could reach out and teach us
Arm in arm, not versus,
Is how we’ll survive?
