If you see
your parents
abused,
violated;
if you watch
your grandparents
disrespected,
humiliated;
if you witness
your siblingsbeaten,
excluded;
if you view
your friends
denied,
imprisoned;
if you observe
your people
tortured,
murdered;
what can you learn
from a teacher,
from a textbook
about
hate?
