Let's speak a common tongue.

Erase boundaries and barriers

That have bred deep trenches

And left hearts and minds

Bristling with the hurt; the rage and the hate

That politicians exploit  to strengthen the "STATE".

Let us exchange materials and memories

That reveal our frailties as mortal beings;

Without the scars and labels that nationalities impose.

I cry-you cry- we all cry-

I laugh-you laugh-we all laugh-

but let us laugh with you-not at you!

And let us cry with you-not make you cry!

For in the end, the end for all is just  the same.

Be it dust or ash-Death even out the injustice

Of a collective, and often cultivated, racial prejudice.
