“They really enjoy the hate!”
A new student voter
He says nothing rational
This unloving unlovable mud creature
He lies like diarrhea
So what’s the attraction?
Some say it’s “attitude” –
Denying they agree with him on everything
They applaud the “performance.”
All these people traveling off the cliff together
Enjoying the hate –
Taking a deep cathartic plunge into an exhilaration of loathing.
Diner Mystic 
Your writing touched me…and I was finally able to vomit this out:
Assaulted
I have been assaulted
but I look at my hands, my legs my torso
And there is neither blood nor bruise
Not a broken bone, nor a stitch needed
Assaulted
I hurt all over
But especially my chest
My breathing is labored
Assaulted
I strive to be a good man and fail all too often
GRACIUS, something I try to be more often than I am
Judeo-Christian teachings point to kind and fair treatment for all
It is good not just for others, but especially good for me
No one has a monopoly on opportunity or hope
Assaulted
We have two hands, at least one is for helping others
I feel whole when I am kind and not thinking of myself alone
Alone is what I feel when I’m only thinking of myself
Assaulted
By people being unkind, for making fun of the handicapped, for caring only for themselves
For calling the poor and the downtrodden rapists, and murderers for wanting a better life
For separating children from their parents
For the gluttony of those that have too much already and lie to squeeze more for themselves
Assaulted
My values, my heroes, my aspirations, my very raison d’etre
These are being constantly assaulted
It would have been easier to bear
Had I just been physically beaten.
