Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

A World of Hate

creation commenced--Cain and Abel

jealousy

two brothers competing stalwartly

hatred

junction off- ramp taken blazing

violence

still cosmic warfare rages intense

unceasingly

assembled, standing as vengeance

persists

born protesting our fallen world

obstinately

strangely culture perceives tolerance

ignorantly

a Creator that keeps our friendship

unconditionally

no half-way house choice in His 

sovereignty



“Don’t be surprised my brothers if the world hates you” 1 JOHN 3:13
