HATE IS A VIRUS
A virus is
fought inside us.
While violence is fought among us.
In both, our triumph is not in conquering others,
But conquering the most destructive agents
&instincts that we carry
Within our mortal forms.
Hate is a virus.
A
virus demands a body.
What we mean is:
Hate only survives when hosted in humans.
If we are to give it anything,
Let it be our sorrow
& never our skin.
To love just may be
The fight of our lives.
Amanda Gorman
