Banking On Love and Hate

There's a big difference
Between love and hate
While one gives away
The other one saves
Using their hearts
Like most do a bank
In the deposit 
Of love and hate

Love in its interest
Runs rather high
With not many willing
To pay the price 
Though when banking on hate
Most people find 
Borrowing from love
Would have been wise

Because there's a big difference 
Between love and hate
Where the dividends 
Of love far out way
Anything at all that
Hate has to say
So be wise 
In where you choose to bank
