I find that often

It’s harder

To hate someone

When you know them,

When you’ve seen into their soul.

 

Perhaps that fact is why

Hate has become so common for us all.

 

We have lost

Community.

The people who kept us in check.

 

The people

Who would willingly

Rally behind us

In our time of need.

 

Now we face things alone,

Our hate free to fill the space

That was once

Full of

People.
