Matthew Anish Poet Concrete

Hate Talk

There is danger aboard in 
      our land 
Talk of hate and persecution 
    has become the norm
We must be watchful 
    and guard against 
the deepening shadows 
   growing on the body politic 
    One does not have to look far 
to see the signs of danger 
  Let haters beware! 
There is apart of American 
    which will not tolerate you 
And will take 
   the necessary action 
to stop you 
and force you to "close up shop"
   and take your hate elsewhere

Andrea Dietrich January 7, 2016 at 3:38 PM Matt, I have had more cats in my life than dogs. But I find dogs seem more loving and affectionate. However, cats are so regal and elegant. they can be affectionate and not hopping around and chewing up your house. I think both animals have so much to offer. I love having one of each in my house.

Robyn Campbell January 6, 2016 at 12:39 AM Haters are all around us. We just have to show them that is not the way. And it isn't just in our country. It's the world. Your poem is powerful. Very well written.

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2016 at 5:42 PM Oh Matt, just read this poem. If this poem is about the person I think it is about, I pray to God he will be banished from our sight. but I greatly fear what is coming to my nation. And the shortsightedness of so many Americans.

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2016 at 5:41 PM Hi, Matt, not sure if I ever read a Singer book but I heard of him. Yes, I well remember son of a preacher man. It was always on the radio, I think around the time I met my first great kisser!!
