Bigotry
Bigotry's ubiquitous,
its roots entangled in time.
And when intolerance grows,
anxieties tend to climb.
Using angry, hurtful rants,
racists verbalize their fears.
And sneer as innocence cries,
unmoved by the flow of tears.
Strong minds recruit weaker minds,
offering friendship as bait.
For partial truths target youth,
while preaching doctrines of hate.
Bullies often become trapped
in a web of pain and vice.
And a lifetime of hatred
levies a terrible price.
