Xenophobia

Xenophobia 

Fear seethed in reluctance, 
Rinsed in the stream of laziness, 
Conception donating annoyance, 
Aggression and guts embroidered with thoughtlessness. 

Offspring set for war, 
Migrants to fall by his sword. 
Vice versa, the crescendo swings, 
As revenge inflects its melody. 

Wails seconded by wrath, 
Atmosphere littered with emotions, 
Confetti of joy by cowardice drawn, 
Contracts into a span, then destruction. 

If fear is love and choice, zeal. 
War'll be peace, and xenophobia, patriotism.
