Brown little boy

I see you there

Standing in defiance and fear

Asian man

I see you too, trembling before me

And hear you choke back a sob

Muslim old man

Holding your "mighty" Koran

Prepaing to die for what you believe

"Christian" man

I see you like to judge, like me

But you can't escape persecution

Queer little boy

Just look at you

Shaking in your boots

Jewish son

There you are

Among the hated ones

Even you, White man

You think that you are above?

No one is beyond my grasp

Shame, Bigotry and Fear

Are things that feed my soul

Ignorance, Intollerance and Loath

Are some of my precious goals

I spin this world inside my web

And none of you seem to see

The devastation that I cause

From sea to shining sea

I twist their hearts

And blind their eyes

I deafen many an ear

I make mothers weep

And children cry

I make men angry

I fill them with lies

I put weapons of destruction in their hands

And thoughts of devastation in their heads

They listen intently to my commands

Until everyone around them are dead

I've been around since the first defiance

When Adam fell to Eve

I'll be around til the end of time

When this world is done, I will take my leave.

Vivid portrayal of the role hate plays in mankind's lives.

well now...

You could not have captured the arrogance of hate any better than you did here!!

excellent work, only thing I would suggest is reducing the spacing between your lines. But in a powerful piece like this, its really just a quirk of mine...
