Hate
Hate
Why must you carry the blackness of hate
Why do you find it so easy to belittle and berate
Anger is such a negative way to communicate
And all it does is create an avenue to separate
To spew a painful, despairingly hurtful word
To another human being can be so absurd
To demean another, his character slurred
While the dehumanizing acts are incurred
Why do you feel you have the right to judge
To let others live their lives, you begrudge
Your rage released with the slightest nudge
And all of your intolerance will never budge
We must learn to accept people whoever they are
From whenever and wherever both near and far
Racism and hatred can leave such a permanent scar
These traits, a learned process, an ugly repertoire
