Hate Talk

There is danger aboard in our land Talk of hate and persecution has become the norm We must be watchful and guard against the deepening shadows growing on the body politic One does not have to look far to see the signs of danger Let haters beware! There is apart of American which will not tolerate you And will take the necessary action to stop you and force you to "close up shop" and take your hate elsewhere

Matt, I have had more cats in my life than dogs. But I find dogs seem more loving and affectionate. However, cats are so regal and elegant. they can be affectionate and not hopping around and chewing up your house. I think both animals have so much to offer. I love having one of each in my house.

Haters are all around us. We just have to show them that is not the way. And it isn't just in our country. It's the world. Your poem is powerful. Very well written.

Oh Matt, just read this poem. If this poem is about the person I think it is about, I pray to God he will be banished from our sight. but I greatly fear what is coming to my nation. And the shortsightedness of so many Americans.
