Hate 101

HATE 101 Hate is a monster that devours a soul It feeds on your love, eating all of it whole Hate is a thought, a concept that’s real It is stored in the mind until actions reveal Hate is a language which when spoken to you Will change your behavior in all that you do Hate is a voice of the darkness within It loves only things that propel us to sin Hate is an expression of a feeling towards some It appears without warning but from where does it come Hate is a parasite that kills all in its path It changes one’s life, once they’re plagued by its wrath Hate is your neighbor who says hello each day It can hide in plain sight; it is cunning that way Hate is a dictator that influences one’s actions It dwells on the chaos brought forth from reactions Hate is a color, a race or a culture It pecks at your heart like the beak of a vulture Hate is a demon that possesses without bias It seeks out the cracks within those who are pious Hate is the knowledge of our differences, unwelcomed It never strays far from behaviors, accustomed Hate is a drug that for some will inspire It will suck out your joy like a thirsty vampire Hate is infectious and spreads like wild flower It should never be allowed to control and overpower Check out my book entitled, The Untamed Mind" for more great poems.
