When We Tolerate Hate (Tell His Story)



 The thugs with torches soon will come
for the despised Jew.
Next they'll take the Muslim,
and then they'll turn on you,
for we thought we should tolerate 
the thought with which we disagree,
even that embracing hate,
ignoring history 
that should have taught us discernment 
had we the wit to hear
without this misplaced sentiment
that long has been held dear,
the notion that beneath the skin
evil men are yet our kin.

Sylvia knows evil first-hand. She was abandoned to die with a broken leg and a dead puppy in her womb in a July Texas field.

  In the absence of music (Blogger won't let me link a video on my phone), here are a couple of things pictures of Sylvia, my blog's public face, on an ice-cream run.

  2. Good vs evil. Light vs. darkness. They stand in stark contrast.
