Barry Van Allen - Benazir

I hate that hatred killed her,
a disagreement and a vote,
... should have been enough.

The instant blame was all they needed,
to place it at a door somewhere,
and all the facts be damned.

Nobody seems to understand,
how volatile the situation,
and more than that,
nobody seems to care.

This could have all been planned,
by the ' puppet - master ' haters,
who have been known to live,
to prove that death is...
the only thing you should believe in,

I hate that hatred killed her,
all she wanted was a peace,
to stand for those who can't themselves,
so they may rise from underneath.

She knew each day, today was coming,
and held her head up proud,
not many in this human race,
will ever speak that loud.

I know the question echoes,
and then the echoes ask again,
... who hates enough and why? ,
and how much is enough pain?
