Dear Jack

Dear Jack I hate you
I hate you and everything you stand for:
For racism, for self-righteousnes, for toxic masculinity-
For grudges and times when we didn't see entirely differently.

I wish I could take the compliment out of my sons name
I wish I could wipe you from existence
As well as ever meeting you from my brain
But most of all-

I wish that you did not represent such a large portion of people-
Who see like you and spread hate
Like so much senseless evil 
And then claim God will save them after they're asses under a steeple.
