Hate, emboldened,
Steps out of a closet,
Packs a suitcase,
And drives to Virginia.
Hate, emboldened,
Does not feel the need
To cover up with hoods or robes.
Hate, emboldened,
Marches in the light of day,
And illuminates the night
With torches and spotlights.
Hate, emboldened
By "free speech"
And "take back what is ours."
Hate, encouraged by anger,
By fear, by prejudice.
Hate, empowered by the silence
Of political leaders,
Of church leaders,
Of ordinary people
Like me.
Rise up, voices of truth,
Voices of light,
Voices of courage.
Embolden Love.
