Torches lit the night sky, A glowing river of flames Burning with the passion of hate. Body after body marching on, Faces devoid of any humanity And a grotesque amusement Sparkling in their eyes. Senseless chants piercing the air, The place quickly becoming a gathering Of ignorance and hatred. The minutes tickled by, The violence spreading like a wildfire— No act of kindness strong enough to Extinguish it. **** flags painted the sky a ****** red, The white no longer a sign of peace, But rather the symbol of white supremacy. America. This is what the place we call "home" has become.
