The Other Side Poem by Randy McClave

Some folks are continually saying
With concern they are dismaying,
That there is hate on both sides of the fence
And now the hate is truly immense.
From what I hear, read and also see
From that truthful statement I can't disagree,
On both sides of the fence there is hate
Which we none can debate.
One side hates people that are black or brown
And they hate men who wear a gown,
They also hate Asians and Middle Eastern people as well
And gay people, they are cursing them strait to hell.
They hate people who don't fully subscribed to their own rigid ideology
For their beliefs and actions they never have or give an apology,
They hate those with different languages and faces
The other side though, they hate those bigots and racists.
