Poem
We have a choice to love or hate in this world we’re trying to create. Today I direct my attention…to all those who have chosen hate: I’m finding it very difficult these days when I see your prejudices…your wars when I see the damage your hate can do…not to add my hate to yours. Hate is an invasive weed whose growth is difficult to reverse. and when I add my hate to yours…it will only makes things worse. What makes this so difficult for me…when I see the heartache your hate produces the pain and suffering too…. Is that I really want to hate you back…for the hateful things you do. Even though I know hate breeds more hate as it contaminates and pollutes the air. Which means instead of stopping or reducing hate…now there’s more hate everywhere I am not afraid however…for no matter what hate you choose whatever form of hate I’m seeing…. I will fight to make it stop with every fiber of my being. When I fight to stop your hate…your wars…your prejudices which always and in sorrow… I’m not just fighting for myself today…but for too the children of tomorrow. This is my daily dilemma in the world I’m trying to create… to find away for love to lead me out of this horror…without giving you my hate. I know there’s no easy solution…but at the end of every day I pray that I have done my best…that I have found a way to speak up…to confront hate…without my own hate coming through… to face your hate with courage and love… and not let my hate…turn me into you.
