Call a Spade a Spade

The seeds of hatred, who has sown?		
The winds of intolerance, who has blown?
	
The two deadliest snakes, so far unknown;
Like weeds in society, now they are grown.

Beware of these weapons aimed at you;
To your own self, you always try to be true.
	
Think not that things will change on their own;
Analyse the insults to which you are prone.	
	
Accept not ever your defeat untried;	
Let not slide a bit your personal pride.

Wage a war against every evil unafraid.
Is it a crime to call a spade a spade?
