Hate and violence provoking responses - working on a peaceful norm - a rhyming poem.

A matter of screening, reacting real late -
Stem the inclusions of drugs sown with hate;
Cease bitter rhetoric and never berate -
Efforts enlighten, and must clear the slate. 

Vengeance affirmed, choosing death and fatality; 
Indecent actors’ voice crazed culpability…
Separate from race, ethnic cleansing, nobility
Are the bitterness and fright of inherent stability.

Needless to say, God is loved, so is piety
A recipe that inculcates sweeter variety?
Careless destruction involves impropriety -
Ratcheting discord reflects one’s society.

Act with a courage - not a purpose befuddling.
Parent the folks with sensitivity and cuddling.
Provision the safeguards for hate and stop muddling;
Ensure people speak, for the blood, tears are puddling.

Experience, know-how, conceived very urgently;
Inventing that scene, getting dodged rather cogently -
People restore faith in each other more gently;
Normal conventions behave oh-so differently!

Humans rely on appearance strange looking;
Activists call someone evil, a thing -
Political voices always have something cooking;
Whatever the reason, these guys make the phone ring.
