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?

Tina, just an amazing verse on the Norway tragedy. It really pulls the heartstrings and I wish so many more could read it.
