The souls of many
are filled with hate
as the true actions
of their souls reveal, prejudice,
deceit, envy and arrogance
leaving no space for a heart
of compassion, as they prey upon
others with their words of condemnation
behind the ignorance of their own fears
Their egos are masked with false beliefs
of chosen human privileges graced
with a silver lining,which does not
exist in humanity
Nothing will change until
those whose souls
are ingrained with
hate and prejudice
look in the mirror
and beyond their egos
to see a reflection of self
and realize that they are no different
than the very people they denigrate

The Depth of My Soul
From the depth of my soul
I live the realities of life
Not afraid of its nakedness
I face all its boldness
and stand up against the
the poisons of its “isms”
in its various forms,
as it tries desperately to
capture me with its chains
of hate, negativity and despair.
but fails, because the strength
and vigor of my spirit will never
stand “still” long enough for it to “own”
me.
Life’s blanket of hope, love, positivity and
compassion has embraced my heart
and soul with the strength of a Lioness
who protects her young against the hungers
of many.
I shall not bend, I shall not crawl and
"I will never give up my right" to speak
against what is not right in this life,
because the love that lives within
the ”depth of my soul” speaks for itself.
