The distanceBetween the Rich and the Poor
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to the Moon

Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to the Sun

And the Man on the Street
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Saturn
The distance
Between the Jihadist
And the American Soldier
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Mars
The distance
Between the Black Man
And the White
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Jupiter
The distance
Between Man
And Woman
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Venus

And Straight
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Uranus
The distance
Between the Environmentalist
And the Industrialist
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Pluto
The distance
Between the Christian
And the Muslim
Is greater
Than the distance
From the Earth to Neptune
The distance
Between the Living
And the Dead
Is greater
Than the distance
from the Earth to Mercury
But the distance
Between the Heart
And the Soul
Is closer
Than the Land to the Sea
And the distance
Between War
And Peace
Is as close
As You are to Me
