untitled 2

I hate discrimination. Can you tell?

It’s another loaded gun aimed and set to kill

And the hypocrites who taught us ‘love thy neighbor’ are the ones with fingers on the trigger.

The playgrounds where no one knew or cared how different we were from each other

Have become the slaying grounds for the unique.

There is no love in a world promoting hatred,

No acceptance when discrimination becomes propaganda.

What have we done to attain shame for our freedom?
What started this war against unity?

 

It’s another time bomb with a minute until detonation

And the leaders of undue judgment are the ones who assembled this explosive device.

What do they think happens when they disapprove of what’s unable to be changed,

When they put reasons to use hate in children’s hands?

There is nothing so cold as expulsion from mankind,

Being given no encouragement and being forced into “rehabilitation”.

What makes it adult to put others “in their place”?

When has battle solved this before?

Very powerful statement made here. Very potent! More people should look in the mirror before judging! I can't even put a finger on my favorite lines as I love them all!

Exactly! You said a lot in only a few short lines. Nice write.
