Neil Gaiman's Powerful Poem Lays Bare the Merchants of Hate

An original poem by Neil Gaiman, narrated by Peter Kenny, directed and animated by Anna Eijsbouts.

Hate for Sale

Hate for sale. All the very best 
Hate for sale. Vintage stuff.
Do my cries excite your interest? 
Lovely hate. Your life is rough.

Buy my hate. You'll come right back for more. 
Hate for sale. Enough to start a war.
Hate the rich, the brown, the black, the poor. 
Hate is clean. And hate will make you sure.

Hate for sale. You'll feel superior.
Hate for sale. You'll make the news.
Hate the families who come here fleeing war. 
Hate the gay. The trans. The new. The Jews.

Don't need to care who you detest 
Hate makes you feel a whit less scared 
To know that your group is the best 
And burn to ashes all the rest
Who will not face the real test
But showed up naked, unprepared
To be sent back, or drowned, or hurled 
back into the abyss. Your world
will be so safe, so clean, so great.
And all you needed was some hate.

Hate for sale. All the very best 
Hate for sale. Vintage stuff.
Do my cries excite your interest? 
Hate for sale. Never enough.
