Extra! Extra!
This just in:
Hatefulness
Is the new trend.
Forget tolerance
Empathy and being kind,
Why burden ourselves
With an open mind?
So we keep our minds closed,
But we open our mouths,
Speaking of things
We know nothing about.
We're shouting hot air
With no substance to fill it.
We spread hate but preach love
Then point out hypocrites.
We blame everyone else
And claim innocence although
We're building walls
With the stones we throw.
We're so advanced
But so behind,
We've got 20/20
But we act like we're blind.
