  • Hate is loud. It echoes in empty rooms and calls itself power.It throws stones upward and pretends it’s climbing. Let’s be honest. Hate isn’t sophisticated. It isn’t visionary. It isn’t creative. It’s reactive. It’s small hands reaching up at something they refuse to build themselves. I said what I said. If you want to be…
