If only, you can see what I see.

If only, you can see the beauty of my culture.

If only, you can try and understand what I am.

If only, you can try and learn what I am.

If only, you can believe what I believe in.

If only, you can believe that we are equal.

But, we are different from one another.

If only, you can feel sadness like I have from years past.

If only, you can loose something valuable.

If only, you can loose something useful.

If only, you can understand your sole purpose on our Mother Earth.

If only, you can understand that you should live with RESPECT to our Mother Earth. It’s only then that we can walk in peace, harmony and understanding of one another.
