apartheid

if i had a million,
i would buy a house.
but do i have a million?
no.
so i don't have a house.

if i had a pair of wings,
i would fly to and watch over you.
but can i grow wings?
no.
so i can't be your guardian angel.

if i had courage,
i would hug you the next time i see you.
but do i have that courage?
no.
so i can't feel your warmth.

if i poured out an entire ocean,
i wouldn't be able to put out my flames of passion for you.
but can an ocean be emptied of water?
no.
so i don't love you.
