Hatred Hiding by Annelise Lords

Hatred is using a mask

To hide actions and thoughts

But we can still see

When hate’s actions decided

To destroy you and me

Rioting and looting

But you aren’t fooling

Because we can still see

Exactly what you are doing

Divide and rule

Is your most powerful tool

Choosing to remain silent

Amid injustice and violence

Instead of uniting

The people of all races

But we can read the emotion on hate’s faces

The mask won’t hide hatred at all

All types of Discrimination will fall

But come November third

Black and white voices will be heard

With the stroke of a pen

We will be able to defend

Our right to choose

Because love will not lose

When hate fails to realize

Black, brown, red or white

We are all the same inside

Because love is color blind

In all things it sees in front and behind

Love is humanity’s answer

Because it knows that all lives matter

Thank you for reading this piece. I hope you enjoyed it

Reveal the hatred with love.
