VANQUISH HATE



Vanquish hate.
Capture every last word of it
Before it escapes on loathsome breaths.
Scramble its deceitful messages
Until they cannot be heard or read.

Words exist that have no venom.
Rescue them!
Save them from angry slogans,
From loaded guns and malignant lies.
Give these quiet words air to breathe.

And they will rise again
On the haunted breaths of fallen voices.
They will drown out the diabolic hiss
And emerge anew bearing
Light and reason.
