Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Bigotry

Bigotry's ubiquitous:
its roots, entangled in time.
And as intolerance grows,
Anxieties start to climb.

Using angry, hurtful rants;
racists weaponize your fears.
And sneer, as innocence dies;
unmoved by reason or tears.

Strong minds recruit weaker minds;
offering friendship as bait.
And partial truths, target youth:
while preaching doctrines of hate.

Bullies are forever trapped
in a web of pain and vice.
For a lifetime of hatred
inflicts a terrible price.

What you say is also very fitting for the present time, when many are being led astray by those quoting religion to gain access to ulterior motives. #7 // paul Emile Pinet February 4, 2015 at 3:08 PM Thanks Paul, your words ring true.
