The Glaring Truth

Hate and intolerance, wicked evils of the world. Prejudices, biases, and bigotry ran high and rampant - in times of unrest and hardship. Why are some so thoughtless? I realize that hate is not something that is natural to us. From the early beginning of life, that spontaneously sprung into existence. Like a blade of grass appearing unbeknownst in a silent crack on the sidewalk. Back then, we were still - uncontaminated by the evils - as we grew older, in some, they took roots and planted the seeds of ignorant stereotypes. Put in place and cultivated, by the very society we live in. With the numberless amounts of fertilizers that society fed to them, they began inciting hate and prejudices. In the end, all those efforts resulted in violence. Purposely released upon those of difference, be it of race, religion, or sexual orientation, that can't bend to its will, in its own disillusioned image. Hate, intolerance, prejudice, bias, and bigotry - from forth its heart it unleashed onto the world - fear, unrest, violence, and ultimately, destruction.
