There is no Other, we are one.
Hatred is a heart disease, it
can be cured and
it must be cured.
We can cure it.
11 innocents shot down and
13 bombs mailed.
Thousands marching
Just to be safe.
One young woman living in a
sanctuary
church, unable to
enjoy Fall’s beauty.
Hatred is a heart disease, it
can be cured and
it must be cured.
We can cure it.
There is no Other, we are one.

Yes, yes, yes. Thank you.
Just a note to say that in writing this poem, you have taken the step to move from empathy to compassion. From your personal hurt to the transfer sonar action of creating a way to speak to the larger suffering engendered by racism and hatred. Thoughtfully done, Betty.
