Everyone:

Love yourself

as another,

all others,

as you love family,

your brother, your sister

your mother, your father

your daughter, your son,

as you love your neighbor,

your friends, your locality

your teams, and your clubs,

as you love your culture,

your past and your future,

why not love everyone's!

Everyone Too:

Love yourself

as another,

as you love your family

and you love them all,

you love your nation,

your allies,

your unions,

your farmers,

your workers,

your saviors,

your soldiers,

your ethics,

your religions,

your environments,

you should love everyone's.

Except for those that cause pain,

or suffering over currency.

Everyone Ever:

Love yourself

as another,

as you love them all,

but do not love money.

Its hoarding has killed everything.

From heroes in foreign lands,

to machines that have tamed the wilds,

to the hallowed grounds of the dead,

to the stories in your head,

love everyone's ancestors remembered,

and forgotten.

Everything:

Love yourself

as another,

as you love them all,

love the neutrinos,

leptons, bosons, and quarks,

love the electrons, protons and neutrons,

love the photons, dimensions and opposite matter,

love the forces, atoms, elements and molecules

love everything that makes up everything,

including stuff that hasn't been dreamed.

All That We Know:

Love yourself

as another,

as you love them all,

love the mountains,

love the valleys,

love the plains,

love the seas,

love stars in the sky

carrying stories

of the past of people

in the heavens,

the first books we all had,

to planets and the old gods

love'em all!

All To Come:

Love yourself

as another,

as you love them all,

love the microbes,

and the plants,

and the animals,

even all people,

except for the ones that mean to cause you pain,

love the depths,

and the aliens,

love the solar systems,

and the galaxies,

love everything you will ever see.

    Very inspiring.

  • It’s a reminder that, despite our differences, we all share the same fundamental desires. Wonderfully written!
