To those who use Atheist as a dirty word…

I hope no one gets me wrong.
I hope no one thinks I loathe the light 
(or - that I know all that’s right).
Far from the truth, I claim only my love to give love,
and I’m amazed and justified every time I hear
of some ful-of-wonder person completing 
an act of able-love - human compassion,
and I’m unhinged and mortified every time I hear
of some ful-of-fervor person creating
an act of able-hate - human destruction.
