Hate, Questions, and Statements

I hate being asked to write about hate. There has been too much abhorrence to date. How is it that many people relate? Perhaps love and compassion have lost gait. I hate being asked to write about hate. Contentious poetry seems to mutilate The souls of the righteous sometimes vacate. Participation in hate can deflate – I hate being asked to write about hate. To me, doing so is a big mistake. Why is there a need to hurt and castrate? Aren't there other ills that can the coals rake? I hate being asked to write about hate. One-ups-man-ship prevents hopes for checkmate. This game without end will contention defend. The devil happily waits to cremate. I hate being asked to write about hate. Hurting in the name of “gaming” …primate! Kindness and caring too often mutate. Afterward, growth of the soul will stagnate. I hate being asked to write about hate. Please use caution or badness will inflate Destroying good feelings with words the spate. Hide, oh my subconscious. Do not gyrate. Why did you ask me to write about hate? Sadly, wars in this world, spawned by words palpate. So how does all of this to the individual translate? Peace begins within; so, spread the update! THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR THE CONTEST ABOUT WHAT YOU HATE...It disappeared, thankfully! © July 22, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen
