Hate only breeds ugliness. I think the Bridge we built to cross that gap is burning, again. The Bridge (The Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman case will never be fully understood for years till we can look back and reflect over what happened. Space is what is needed so that others can step back and say "Oh, I see". Now, we are so close to it all we'll ever have is a short nose.) edited by Gabe on 7/18/2013

Hate only breeds..." should go on a new line, and I'm afraid the poem reads more like a paragraph or comment than a poem. However, at this time I am happy with it, though I might change it in the future.
