Is…real…light.

I believe there will be a day when Israelites and Palestinians can sit as friends and not worry about whether or not they’re fitting in to society’s molds…

Who needs to fit into a society mold in a world where society is cold? No one.

As I welcome the Jews and the Muslims I carry no gun in my Christian heart and I won’t run…away from you.

I’ll stay with you and I don’t care if I agree with your views, this is a safe place for you.

I see you completely and you can see me here. I’ll keep extending my arms because I want you to be here.

If I look at you I’m gonna cry. News of more death in Israel and Palestine makes me wanna cry.

When you look into the light, whether Palestinian or Israelite. I don’t want you to look at me and ask the question “Is he real light?”

It’s an honor to fret in fear for you. To my Israeli-Palestinian friends, I’ll always be here for you.

-Dedicated to everyone who has been effected by the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
