Hatred Divides

An Acrostic

Have you any sympathy for the other?

Any heart for someone who doesn’t look or think like you?

To think that you can only tolerate your “equals”

Really is a shame, don’t you see?

Even if you can’t see eye-to-eye

Don’t you dare try seeing heart-to-heart?

***

Divisions only make us weaker

Individuals can’t perform the duties of an entire pack—

Variety is the spice of life and makes us stronger

It’s our differences that keep us standing tall—

Don’t buy into the propaganda that they shove upon us

Even “equals” can lie to tear us down

Stop the hatred before it takes us over
