HATRED-ok

I WROTE THIS MANY YEARS AGO BUT WHEN I JUST REREAD IT I WAS IMPRESSED SO DECIDED TO COPY IT OVER HERE.

 

HATRED-read

3/5/2001

I hate you

You hate me

Why can’t we let

Each other be?

 

You are white

I am black

Why does it matter

How you look?

 

I am Jewish

You are Catholic

Why does it matter

Where you pray?

 

I am rich

You are poor

Why does it matter

How much you have?

 

I like green

You like red

Why does it matter

What I wear?

 

I love girls

You like men

Why does it matter

As long as we love?

 

I like to sew

You like golf

Why does it matter

How we play?

 

I am fat

You are thin

Why does it matter

What size we are?

 

In the future

In the days to come

Maybe we can

Turn off our hatred

And just let

EACH OTHER BE?
