love built it and love will tear it down

it's just a room
with walls
for limits
and a glass ceiling
to hold us in

it's just a system
with rules
for order
and structures
to control our beliefs and our behaviors

Love built it
your genitals commodified it
your white skin colonized it
your arrogance organized it
and you hoarded it's power
and Love will tear it down

Love built it and Love will tear it down

it was never meant to be reined in
it was never meant to be exclusive
it was never meant to be given limits
it was never meant to oppress
it was never yours to dominate

Love is high and wide and deep
Love holds and knows and sees
Love is free and freely given
Love is you and Love is me
Love is our bodies in all complexity
in pleasure and in pain
in hope and in despair
Love is imminent
Love is human and divine
Love is presence
Love is mystery

Love built it and Love will tear it down
