Riddle The Riddler!

writing in riddles 

Lori Crawford Arnold ~ Photographer

it comes in many forms


for those outside established norms


a glance, a stare, a muffled laugh


a tactless taunt, a senseless gaffe



The answer is "Discrimination"

      The answer is "discrimination" ... However all the guesses are absolutely on the right track and would apply.

    Short and sweet, but not sweet, Helen. Discrimination is quite sour.

    Oh...this is so sad, and it stems from so many other things that are wrong.

    I'm rooted in lies and in fear
    I grow in the absence of fact
    I shun politeness and tact
    only the rude I hold dear
