I think it’s ok

I think it’s OK

To think of your local community,

Before shouting and boycotting air.

I think it’s OK

To be sure of who you are marching with,

So that you can walk away as it’s clearly time.

I think it’s OK

To stop shouting harsh ‘hate’ slogans

Covered by ‘sweet’ river rhymes.

I think it’s OK 

That maybe you didn’t know that before, 

but now that you do, you can step out.

I think it’s OK

To always be for Peace and Love

But not to call a Ceasefire now.

I think it’s OK

To making sure that your neighbours

Are not afraid of the scarf you wear.

I think it’s OK 

To really think the impact

That your words can have on others.

I think it’s OK

To push hate away from your mouths

And clean your souls and our streets.

I think it’s OK

To also be gently calm and quiet

And light a candle while we pray.
