Hate 101
HATE 101
Hate is a monster that devours a soul
It feeds on your love, eating all of it whole
Hate is a thought, a concept that’s real
It is stored in the mind until actions reveal
Hate is a language which when spoken to you
Will change your behavior in all that you do
Hate is a voice of the darkness within
It loves only things that propel us to sin
Hate is an expression of a feeling towards some
It appears without warning but from where does it come
Hate is a parasite that kills all in its path
It changes one’s life, once they’re plagued by its wrath
Hate is your neighbor who says hello each day
It can hide in plain sight; it is cunning that way
Hate is a dictator that influences one’s actions
It dwells on the chaos brought forth from reactions
Hate is a color, a race or a culture
It pecks at your heart like the beak of a vulture
Hate is a demon that possesses without bias
It seeks out the cracks within those who are pious
Hate is the knowledge of our differences, unwelcomed
It never strays far from behaviors, accustomed
Hate is a drug that for some will inspire
It will suck out your joy like a thirsty vampire
Hate is infectious and spreads like wild flower
It should never be allowed to control and overpower
