Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

We have set our table. We have invited people to join us. And I am frightened for what comes next.

We have invited deceit to our table. We have given it a seat of honor. We have made strong chairs to support it and keep it forceful.

We have welcomed hate at our table. We have allowed it to bring friends, like antagonism and hostility.

We have no room left for respect at our table. We have not left any space for love.

This is the table we have set. This is who we’ve allowed to sit with us.

The guest list must change.
