Coexistence

I can never hate
Decent people

And you,
Are never better
Than that terrible,

Irresistible doctrine
I wanted to know,
Do we cause intolerance?
Do we hurt people,

By simply aiming for
Happiness?
In the way we see fit?

Do we cause pain?
By being who we are?
Or does your intolerance,

Seeded from history,
Deceive you and,
Make you believe,

We cannot coexist?
I cannot hate you
For hating me.
I’m not innocent of that either,

But allow me breath.
Allow me to live.

That’s all we can do.
