Phobia

Witnessed an incident yesterday.
Felt like I had been teleported back to the racist 70s/80s.
Verses 3:118-120 came to mind, though heavy perhaps and not entirely applicable.. .

"... Rank hatred has already
Appeared from their mouths:
What their hearts conceal
Is far worse..."

"... When they are alone,
They bite off the very tips
Of their fingers at you
In their rage..."
