Sara Kendrick Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Consuming Thing

Hate is a consuming thing
And it makes the emotions king
Body and soul bound by evil 
In a constant state of upheaval 

And I fell into a whole lot of hate
At my mind, soul, and spirit it ate
And it burned, burned, burned~~
that evil
And it burned, burned, burned, 
and stirred upheaval 

Now I've had a taste of love
Sent to me from above
And its power reveals 
and its strength does heal

Hate is a consuming thing
And it makes the emotions king
Body and soul bound by evil
In a constant state
Of upheaval  

And I fell into a whole lot of hate
At my mind, soul and spirit it ate
And it burned, burned, burned~~
That evil
That evil  

Think about Johnny Cash's song, "A Ring Of Fire" ..I did not get rights to associate this with his family so don't use it outside of here.

I Am Anaya January 24, 2024 at 11:09 AM Hate is a consuming thing as you have described in this amazing lyric, Sara. Hate can be a powerful tool that engages followers, gets them hooked the same way crafty metaphors and alluring alliteration make writing sparkle. It's the nature of some, but in the end when awareness they find, those who awaken, "Now I've had a taste of love Sent to me from above And its power reveals and its strength does heal" (beautiful poetry) if only more can have a taste of it. This is a fave for me. Hugs! Sara Kendrick January 24, 2024 at 12:42 PM I Am Anaya, I am honored that you would fav my work. Your comments are uplifting. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
