Hate Happens
The group you are in did not win
Now your mind begins to unwind
Fear grows for "They" are different
Dangerous and a threat akin
To a fascist re-emergence
The things you hate about the winner
Are the things you fear lie within
So you project onto others
The motives you've repressed as sin
Feeling powerless and ashamed
You lash out hiding from inner pain
Seeking momentary solace
Attacking a man whom you disdain
Truth too difficult to accept
They are the haters, it's not us
Evidence abounds on the grounds
That hateful acts are all around
Fake Russian collusion hoaxes
Laptop lies, lawfare convictions
Two assassination attempts
Maxine Waters shouts in the streets
Nancy Pelosi rips up speech
The news knowingly speaks untruth
How many can now see the pattern
Can you not see where hate happens
