Tolerance


I look, I see, I tolerate thee.

For I cannot agree with your thinking,

I can agree that we're all human beings.

Nothing can change that and nothing will.

We are not to turn a blind eye to to those in danger,

Nor are we to endanger those we don't like in anger.

He is a homophobic, heterosexist bastard.

That does not deserve the attention of the media,

Helpless as the people in that club.

There will always exist people who hate. Teach them how to love and there'd be less terrorism.
