One to love
The shape of your nose
Your political views
The smell of your food
Your style of shoes
The smile on your face
Your ancestral claims
The fascist architecture
Your dozen names
There are many reasons to hate
And only one to love
The sound of your laugh
The historical past
Your religious views
The length of the queue
Your favorite team
Your impossible dreams
Hatemongering memes
Eyewitness news
What they never teach
What they always preach
Their covert operations
Your plastic surgery
The sound of their words
The size of the birds
Their renovated districts
Iced coffees and cigarettes
The racism of parents
The customs they’ve kept
The changing faces of friends
The way our fortunes match
There are many reasons to hate
And only one to love
