Smile to me if you can

If not,

I can smile to you

Listen to me if you can

If not,

I can listen to you

Understand me if you can

If not,

I can understand you

Help me if you can

If not,

I can help you

Love me if you can

If not,

I can love you

Carry an olive branch, if you can

If not,

I can carry an olive branch

But, please

Don’t carry a gun

Even if you can, for …

Against you

I cannot carry a gun.
