I Hate Monroe

I hate this place.
Man, I have to go.
I hate the racism.
I hate the haterism.
I hate not being heard.
I hate Monroe.
Man, I hate the word.

I hate this place.
And that’s a fact.
Once I leave here
I will never look back.

Lets hope you finish your business there in Monroe, soon so that you may move on in your life to a more suitable place, Nicole. Sincerely, Love, Moses

If I lived in such a place filled with racism and hatred, I'd be leaving too. Powerful statement, Nicole! Love, Carolyn
