educate the masses
This is a “Poem of the Day” feature piece
To teach tolerance Requires a level of tolerance I simply do not possess And compassion for the ignorant Who deem themselves not so violent Because they only pay the company that makes the guns And guns don’t kill people/ People—men with pent up emotions from childhood Women who believe themselves exempt Cowards hiding from the truth of themselves— Kill people
