Blind hate is a burning fury

                           by Sain Sucha

Blind hate has no one face:

It has no fixed abode, no colour of its skin

                                            no religion and no race

Blind hate is a burning fury –

                                            raw, bitter, vengeful and ruthless

Yet

         It can manifest itself under many disguises

                      As:

                      An

                      Anders Behring Breivik – blue eyed and blond

                      Cho Seung-Hui – dark eyed and pale faced

                      Usama bin Ladin – brown eyed and brown skinned

                      Adolf Hitler – Blue eyed and dark hair

                                            and many, many more

         It develops in minds infested with

                      False beliefs, misguided notions

                      Unfounded fears and phoney assumptions   

         There it evolves when

                      Tender minds are closed to fresh information

                      Planted seeds of misinformation germinate

                                            and change into intense dislike

                      And finally burst out in acts of violence

Thus

         We ought to tame this fury with active deeds:

                      By

                      Words of information and solace

                      Acts of interaction and support

                      Meetings of various people and minds

                      Learning from and about each other
