The End Result of Hate
Here I lie
I think I have grown
The thoughts in my head
Are all that I own
But own them I will
They make sense to me
I cause harm to no one
As it should be
Yet all that I read
Is terribly sad
What causes this hate?
What makes them so bad?
To harm so many
That you do not know
Why would you do this?
You reap what you sow
Keep in mind
The harm that you cause
Will come back to you
Perhaps give you pause
And then understand
All that you’ve harmed
The women, the children
Do you really feel charmed?
You made a statement
Of what you believed
But what has it done?
To the families that grieve
You’ve taken away
Lives not meant to be lost
You think you are better
But at what cost?
