Hate.

Shouldn’t be an opportunity

To spread more hate.

Sometimes,

Try silence.

And see how it fits.

Try love,

And see how it fits.

I often wonder,

What is so challenging about tolerance?

Is your ego so great,

That I must believe,

What you believe?

Is your ego so dangerous,

That I must be harmed for it?

People like you,

Are destroying the world.

Leave us alone,

While we patch her wounds.

RIP to the victims of the Orlando shooting, and all senseless tragedies caused by gun violence.
