a bigot
when he is forced
to drag out
his dark convictions.

It annoys him
to know that
all his hate
can be forced
into the open.

But many times
the truth of
his warped ideas
is wrapped up
and kept well hidden.

So it comes down
to a few
that have the knowledge,
and the heart,
to see what's in there.

And then the world
can see all
the rage and fear.
The face of
their true intentions. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 215 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Dralion [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Fantastic write again Dalion.
Those that do evil do it in he dark
Hide behind religion, organizations or etc.
Most people that are abused by them will not tell.
We must learn to speak up......to blow their cover..........and then everyone will know they are doing wrong!
Loved this poem
