The Love U Give

at our core we are about love and relationship 

we long to be fought for and protected

to never feel disregarded

but that has not been the truth

for many

for a long time

but The Love U Give will change the world

justice is not about punishing wrongs

it is about making relationships right

the work of justice must touch systems as much as individuals 

social systems are just guidelines of how we relate to one another

these must guide and protect all

let no heart be untouched to the honor of protection

the Love U Give starts now

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
