They judge and they criticise and spout their vitriol
Damning and damaging and bringing people down
What happened inside of their souls
To make them this cold, this bitter?
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
The people throwing insults and judgements around like confetti would do well to remember that
Using my God of love as an excuse for hate
But their hatred is met with a wall…
Of love
Tolerance
Understanding
Learning
At times we get it wrong, forget to check our privilege
Ask someone to do the emotional labour for us
But we try
And we try
And it does not go unnoticed
Many small voices will rise up and be heard
Love drowning out hate
Until the bigots are overthrown
Tarred with their own brush
Forced to see the injustice
The truth
