the only real answer
to fear and hate
is not to fight it
but to blaze a trail of love
so blinding, so ferociously hot and so real
that it consumes all the crap around it
and transforms it into something useful
fear pretends it has the upper hand and we believe it
and kneel at the altar it erects
but fear is a ghost
and when love really shows up
it vanishes
but love must be bold and ferocious
it must blaze and blaze
like an out of control fire
that burns everything
and turns it all to ashes
