Love is not the opposite of hate
It is the conjugate
Encompassing a wide range of emotions
While hate is simply and intensely hate
Love embraces, hate consumes
Robert Bowers was consumed, was overpowered
He had to kill the Jews
They were the force behind Trump’s caravan
Of murderous illegals marching to invade
In love we mourn their deaths
And celebrate their lives
Like you I’ve witnessed on TV mass murderings
With empathy my heart reached to embrace those left to mourn
I wrote to Congress and contributed
To no avail
This time I felt it differently
Since I’m a Jew. I once lived there in Squirrel Hill
These were my people being killed
And now my feelings seem more clarified
The pain is sharper; empathy on steroids
Not just for Tree of Life – the victims and survivors
But also for all other victims murdered thus
A deeper manifestation of what’s love
