Page 94 - Poems by Alyson Malach - Childhood to Adulthood

Yes, there’s a poisonous minority, it’s true,

But the vast majority knows what to do.
They stood up, united, with voices so clear,

“You won’t divide us; we hold no fear.”

I love my country, and now you see,

It’s not the hate, but the love that defines me.
For in the face of those who seek to divide,

We stand together, with hope as our guide.
