People like people
Who look
Just like them.

People hate
People who don’t.

Love is unloving
To love
That’s unloving

Haters hate
Hating that loves.

Equality
Is equal
Only when people

Equalify people
To equal.

People love equal
But still hate
Those people

That look like those people
Unequal to them.
