Cain and Abel Disasters

If i fell in love with …a Jewish girl,
a Muslim girl A Zulu girl,

or even just
another foolish girl

A foolish man
like me

what would you think?
That’d make me be

Would you even understand?
Or make me fight

just to stand beside her
Just for the right to take her hand

And if i wanted to raise a family
on a piece of land

Would you attack me like
a thief in the night?

Treat me like an enemy
Even take my life

And at the light of day,
you speak of making peace

You say we might be brothers
in our distant past

Being that we share
the same mother

Say then

Who are we?
