We speak about love,
yet we can't give it freely
we speak about hope
yet we cultivate doubt into the minds of many,
we speak about generosity
yet so many poor people in the world,
we speak about safety
yet women are still locked behind their home gates
and asylum seekers are flooding the shores
of foreign countries,
and we speak about equality,
yet we still discriminate,
we surely don't do what we speak.
