To You 
my Muslim, Jewish, Gay, Black, and Brown
Brothers and Sisters
I will not hate You
Like a table piled high
with rancid meat
The bounty of the beast
I will not taste
the lies
I will not chew
the bigotry
I will not digest 
the hate
To you who society
tells me
I am better than
only not as worthy 
as my white brothers
I.
Will.Not.Hate.
You.
