For Andra

(a lesson in spoken word)

Never heard if love is up,
control is down.
I said control, not discipline
Know the difference
or pay for ignorance.
I know the distinction:
One is out for growth,
the other extinction.

What's it mean to love your neighbor?
Look at yourself to make it clearer:
Your needs are no different from the nations,
so don't wait for your personal invitation.
