I know I’m not suppose to hate

BUT

I hate that people are still calling FEMA trailers ‘home’
I hate that groups of people are still being isolated to feel alone
I hate that AIDS has taken over entire continents
I hate that politics has become a series of arguments
I hate that racism has filled people’s hearts over generations
I hate that workers have become numbers no longer seen as humans
I hate that clean water has become a privilege that only the white can afford
I hate that young mothers are watching their baby’s fathers walk out the door
I hate that college is designed so the rich get richer and the poor can’t go
I hate that money has become our number one goal
I hate that truth is not valued by our families
I hate that we still have KKK rallies
I hate that we cut down our neighbors like we cut down trees
I hate that there are still slaves who need to be freed
I hate that we sit back and watch thousands of people starve
I hate that empty days continue as our grave stones are carved
I hate that perfection is a goal we set for others, but never for ourselves
I hate that women treat their bodies as if they’re something to sell
I hate that people care more about saving corporations than saving lives
I hate that Christians retreat back to their churches to hide
I hate that love has become a fairy tale with no happy ending
I hate that bombs are dropped off without any warning
I hate that once things feel right you realize you’re wrong
I hate that peace has gotten lost in an old folk song
I hate that health care is more rare than diamonds
I hate that faith is so hard to find
I hate knowing that I’m part of the blame
I hate sitting back watching it all stay the same

I know I’m not suppose to hate

But damn.

hope
