Dislike and Hate

Dislike and Hate I’ve learned of the difference Between dislike and hate When one takes your heart There is little debate Dislike is for people Who don’t pull their weight They’re lazy and self centered But they are a long way from hate Hate is for people Who could hurt an innocent child Who should be punished With the strictest laws allowed For these are some people Who destroy this great land Who cause the suffering of others At their evil hands I’ve always been taught To never feel hate But when it comes to these people There is little debate
