Hate doesn’t die
It just changes its’ disguise
Switches out old lies
For the new ones

Wore sheets
Now you hear the pounding of feet
Hear hopes defeat in political speech
And church’s doctrine
For some reason
They have to stop them
From committing such a sin

And the cycle circles us again
Anti-miscegenation laws
Fade to be replaced by
Anti-gay marriage laws

For what cause
The perpetuation of an enemy
To distract you and me
From the real abuses of our society

When you let yourself
Be fooled so easily
Waving your fists angrily
Even though the lessons
Are readily written in our history

But the cycle never ends
The hatred bends
Like light in ocean
To blind devotion
And the hate goes on for leagues
This  was written a month before the supreme court ruling.
