What is love's inverse?
Hates what your mind draws near
But is it really?
Or is it fear...

Love brings people together
Fear rips them apart,
Brings people pain
Rips out their hearts

What does fear do?
Its the cause of hate
People hate what they fear
Use violence to sedate

They don't try to listen
They don't try to learn
Instead they lash out
They rip, tear, stab, burn

Fear is the line that divides
Separates us from each other
The black from the white
One religion to another

Fear blocks the eyes
From the truth deep within
They forget we all bleed
They forget murders a sin

There is so much hurt
So much pain
Blood is spilt
The worlds at strain

Children are murdered
For the colour of their skin
Women are raped
War begins

All for fear
That they hold inside
All for fear
They try to hide
Hmm i am writing a paper on racism and i have recently read up on many hate crimes. It's sickening how the world just continues to get worse and worse and so i decided to write this. Because fear it the cause that creates this pain. Enjoy.

I really loved the starting line..
What is love's inverse?
and I feel as if the poem might as well be song lyrics.
What I'm left with after having read it is the feeling of chaos and this line; "Let's start a riot..."
