STAND UP TO YOUR HATE

 

For years now I have tried to understand your hate…

to find the cause…the reasons…

the source from where your anger originates.

 

I’ve tried to understand how much pain and suffering on others 

you are willing to impart and to ignore.

I’ve wondered when and how you began to hate

everything that I sand for.

 

I’ve often wonder how you sleep at night…

where do you find your joy…

when so many things that mean so much to so many

you are willing to destroy.

 

I have seen and felt the pain of your hatred…

oftentimes I grieve…

When simple logic and years or scientific study

you are unwilling to believe.

 

But I have come to the realization I cannot explain

this hatred that has permeated our land….

for how do I explain something I will never understand.

 

So I will endure your anger, your prejudices, your enmity

if that is to be my fate…

As I stand up proudly and fight for…everything you hate.

 

I will do my best to stay resolute, courageous, unshakable and strong

and let history decide which one of us is right

and which one of us is wrong.
