Beauty In the Face
tossed upon the seas of love
the hateful soul unrepentant
sloganed roses read OsLove
to show humanity's decedents
what the stronger will stand for
bury the hate after the tears
no heating up of this cold war
speak to each in higher prayers
hate may have a home in Hades
but the people here won't bite
held high cool love to cascade
renounce hostility abolish fright
each individually, and as a race
stands at a fork in their road
turn toward love or a darker place
either way picked emotions flowed
these now stand voicing tolerance
flowers of acceptance held high
instead of falling into malevolence
individuals as a nation do reply
