#Inktober2019: Ash

Redirect


Ash,  fueled by hate  left
after someone is viewed as less than,
a person who is declared not worthy
Ashes— left after hate has its say, or
rears up —festers, smolders, and fueled
to rise up again under incendiary words and actions
If we say nothing, not wanting to squander
words on those who hate —we share blame.
We need to smoother those ashes,
stomp down on any embers 
and walk a different path. Our fire
must burn with love.
