Exceptional A message against hatred Animosity by nomi338 Poem of the Month contest entry

Animosity is a killer that is running a deadly course Killing without compassion, killing without remorse It hates the place you came from; it hates that you are here Its anger activated, whenever you are near   It hates the way you dress; it hates the way you speak It would like to remove you, but it’s a coward and it’s weak So, it backs the political candidate, who says he’ll do the deed A garden of hostility, thus grown from this hateful seed   Things are coming to a head, and we will soon see Just what kind of country, this will finally be We are one species, despite how we look, dress or sound Lovingly crafted from the dust of the ground   We can give in to hatred, feeding it every day I pray that those who will replace us will find a better way I pray that our failures, will inspire them to embrace love I know without doubt, this would please our God above   So, let no one bear animosity any more Instead, let love be the key to open heaven’s door Glorious blessings from above await us Gifts from a God who does not hate us.   Recognized Author Notes During this hostile and bitterly fought political campaign, I became sickened by the accusations and at times open displays of hatred strongly based on ethnic discrimination. I feel that as a people we have had quite enough time to have gotten over the foolishness of the past. Clearly none of us are going away. God does not wish us tp be eliminated, and man himself is not powerful nor evil enough to accomplish it, so we might as well get over it and learn to share the Earth. It is certainly big enough for us all.
