Recently, the Supreme Court in America ruled gay marriage to be legal in all 50 states and various opposing reactions to this can be seen from both sides of the debate. Facebook profile pictures have changed to include the iconic symbol of pride. Many personal attacks from both sides have caused further polarization between the groups. I believe that it is important to evaluate both sides and not simply disregard one or the other as sinful or bigoted. People are people after all, hate only hurts all and helps no one.
Hate is what gives us the will to spill the blood of many innocents.
Hate puts guns in children’s hands and send them to their graves for the greater good.
Hate makes us stand up but also shut up because those people got what they deserved. Those people…they had it coming.
God sent that storm to wipe the diseased from our land but does He also not look on immobile when that child was molested?
See I detest this.
The constant arguing as though we’ve graduated to the real world only to return to preschool.
Where the rules and social norms are determined by those who shout the loudest.
Where it doesn’t matter what you think but what you look like. Nail that first impression because you only get those 600 seconds that determine your career.
But I don’t want guns in people’s hands.
I want the sun shining on this land.
I want words of power and inspiration. Those that can drive an entire nation to be better, not divided, together right beside us.
When you disagree with an opinion but can still love the person.
And it goes both ways.
Both sides must give up past lives to decide that we, not I, is the answer.
Nothing is too far gone to be saved, if only we stand together and be brave.
That is the victory and that is who we were meant to be.
The end to the circular debate and finally able to unlock the gate not only to what I can do but I what I can do with all of you.
End the hate, it’s not too late.
For we have power beyond the state.
The state is just composed of people after all.
You and me, united we won’t fall.
