No one can stop me from loving those who hate
a straw man they made and confuse with myself.

No one can stop me from loving those who missunderstand
why we are here and how long we’ll stay.

No one can stop me from loving my father, my siblings
my aunties, uncles and cousins
no matter what happened
neither what they think
nor what they might say.

And nobody can stop me from loving you Betty.

Nothing can stop me from loving this world
neither the rain nor the smoke
nor the tears from your loss
and every apparent tragedy
ploughing deep into the earth’s core
just adds color to my love.

No one can stop me from loving my neighbours
despite the layers of fear programmed
by televisions, covering our hearts.

No one can stop me from loving the forsaken,
the sick and the lame
no one can stop me from loving the ones unable to trust
the useless and ignorant
and nobody, nobody, nobody
can stop me from loving you.
