And It Spreads

You know the virus that disease we call hatred, that kin 
we call jealousy it continues to spread that plague, the 
prejudice the racism are we all stuck in that prism where 
we yell free that convict that deserves to be convicted for 
his sentence, but we live in a world, with heroes & villains 
and all the heroes have been silenced so we cheer for the 
villains, why is it we only fight when it involves grabbing a 
gun or a knife but Dr. KING instilled in me that wasn't the 
aim of civil rights in today's society where the trend is 
being husband & wife but it's far from Holy the divorce 
rate is the only thing that lives up to the hype so it's 
obvious the media is the hype man that hypes you that 
love isn't a issue but it literally rips threw the tissue 
because it comes and goes and in a world where men 
come & go and all she's left with is the thoughts and 
emotions of how she was just exposed and it makes her 
feel so low like she just try temporarily sold her soul and 
it spreads, that mentality that men ain't this, but as an 
employer the one you hire is a representation of what 
you desire, so if he's a liar it's obvious you lied to yourself 
making excuses for his triflingness was always bad for 
your health, we spread hate before love so what's the 
cure for that where if it isn't affecting us we ain't looking 
back but I heard not being apart of the solution is 
problem, and every problem starts with the root, so I 
guess the question is how do you find a cure or win this 
battle stop this epidemic when not choosing to fight has 
caused us to lose

You have a real way with metaphors! Such unusual images IF you can add one line to conclude this you would have a sonnet. Light & Love
