Narrative of Hate
A label is the weapon of Hate
Written swiftly to defend those worthy
And quicker still to condemn the unworthy
A label is to confine within a spectrum
To be anything but it to be exceptional
To be anything but it to be forgotten
When two men of evil intent strike
But one is white, he is called by his trades
But one is black, he is called by his crime
When two men of good save the day
But one is white, he is a hero
But one is black, he is gone with the wind
This narrative of Hate's design
Sets in place a story void of fact
But a story which becomes fruition
This sinister tale becomes a holy book
For which people stake and claim lives
A fairy tale with real and cruel consequences
These labels, while beautiful in diversity
Simultaneously enforce the war of US vs. THEM
Compliance in such a story, is Ignorance's Finest Hour
