Call a Spade a Spade
The seeds of hatred, who has sown?
The winds of intolerance, who has blown?
The two deadliest snakes, so far unknown;
Like weeds in society, now they are grown.
Beware of these weapons aimed at you;
To your own self, you always try to be true.
Think not that things will change on their own;
Analyse the insults to which you are prone.
Accept not ever your defeat untried;
Let not slide a bit your personal pride.
Wage a war against every evil unafraid.
Is it a crime to call a spade a spade?
