Love/Hate

You claim to love me

Because I am white

I am a girl, and moreso,

I'm bi.

"Equality is important"

You say as you spit

Towards my brothers and sisters

For their darker skin.

You treat the world like

Poop

Oh, President Cheeto.

You mock my kin with

Broken bodies,

You mock my family

without any money.

You despise my bretheren

who come to escape

their wars and suffering.

President Cheeto,

I am white. 

In your eyes, I am good.

In your eyes, you can grab

my innocence,

And proclaim it yours.

America, you love me

Because I am a citizen.

America, you love me

Yet you despise those

Whom I love.

I love Justice and Peace,

They are my sisters.

I love Equality,

It is my lover.

I love women,

they are my attractions.

I love the black men and women,

I wish them no more suffering.

I love the immigrants,

I bid them welcome.

My heart is open to everyone,

I love them all.

America, I hate you

and all of your "values."

You value your money,

Your whites, your heterosexuals,

Your men, and Your Wall. 

You love me because

I am White.

I hate you because 

You are fearful.

You are ignorant.

You are intolerant.

You are a stain on the fabric of 

Humanity, you who denies

A most beautiful religion.

You who hide behind your

Bibles, afriad of the

Headscarves of those

Who are innocent.

You put my human

Siblings in jail,

You torture them,

You shoot them.

You tear off in your own

Direction, the wrong direction.

Backwards.

America, I hate you.

You run towards Hate,

And you claim to love me.

I run towards love, because

I hate thee. 

America, the "beautiful", land of the fat.

Land of the fearful, and land of the racist.

Land ruled by the Cheeto,

He who loves only himself.

Land that I hate, more than anything else.
