Untitled

Straight out of the gate

if you’re standing with hate

then you are my nemesis,

so vacate the premises

because your premise is

parallel to white supremacists.

Your weakness is obvious.

Our problems can’t be solved

by ignorance that abolishes

any semblance of human decency.

 

Life’s strange variety helps society

overcome unforeseen calamities,

create new works of art

and science that moves us

from here to where we could be

traveling universally,

whilst expanding intellectually.

 

Your violence

doesn’t help human beings;

It loosens the strings

that tie us together.

Defining a stranger

as a danger

because of their color,

imaginary borders,

or gender identity

doesn’t serve to

strengthen our foundations

but turns earth to rot

as those who have a lot

use the wealth they got

to disseminate hatred,

and take more and more.

 

I know you love it,

but take your Sexism,

Transphobia, Racism,

and discrimination

and shove it.
