Hatred is Hatred is Hatred

Hatred is hatred is hatred
Be it large or be it small
No one can call themselves completely human
If they dabble in it at all

Rights violation is rights violation
Even if they think they never get caught
Even if practiced upon the poor helpless —
And by it exactly same karma be bought

Whether it’s to put a woman
Down to her improper place
Or sit their crass, entitled ass
On a Black man’s pleading face

No perpetrator of such
Aggravated infancy
No matter how accepted be
Will ever get respect from me

There is no petty act
Of hatred petty is in fact
None deserving of that name ~
All hatred is all hatred, is the same
