Ask Not Why Hate Kills Poem by John Sensele

Ask not why hate kills
When hate separates good people from lunatics
Who dispense disunity pills
Absorbed with gusto by like minded fanatics.

Ask not if you should preach the gospel of affection
When affection in the long run heals
Hearts that drift to the brink of extinction
As they embrace an ideology that immorality spills.

Ask not if your foes aren't people with whom you share a meal
When Judases use technology for evil
To plot mass destruction until
The world of sane people wakes up and challenges the devil.

Ask not why loyalty surpasses betrayal
Which nourishes black hearts tinted to the core
With an intent to maim, to kill joy in a portrayal
Of minds that grow sour and sore.
