by Scott C. Kaestner
hate versus love on a train
hate slashes at love, stabs
love in the heart, claims two
brave souls who defended
love in the face of hate and
as love lays dying on that train
a victim of hate, one last brave act
one last message of love, one last
ounce of love to give offering hope
"Tell them, I want everybody to know, I want everybody on the train to know, I love them."
