Hate

We hate the mosquitoes not the butterflies,
We hate slow internet not the internet,
We hate some vegetables not all the meals,
We hate household work not cleanliness,
We hate bad experiences not the good ones,
We hate waking up in mornings not the mornings,

So why do we hate a whole group when only one member has acted wrongly?
Who allowed us to hate on an entire nation for something their leaders has done?
We'll give them hate and they'll give us hate
I don't understand, what comes as an outcome of this cycle?
What does hating give us?
It will be either way,
We'll rather end the hate or it will end us
The choice is ours
