November Chapbook Challenge Day 10: On Tolerance

 Today's double prompt from Robbert Lee Brewer: Write an "easy" and/or "difficult" poem. Hope this one isn't too preachy:


Free
 
easy
to hate
those who differ
 
manufacture
unfair fictions
and attach labels
 
difficult
to love
everyone the same
 
break
your preconceptions
and embrace strangers
 
the word "free"
is in "forgiveness"

Nice soundplay (alliteration and rhyme) with "regain" and "reclaim," which also hearkens back to "reckless." Bravo!
