Hate

Hate

Hate, hate, Hate
It all goes with my fate
I try to conceal it
But it starts to eat me inside

Hate is the nasty, big black color
I picture it as a burned flower
Searching for colorful things
But it just can't find the world around it

I try to eat hate
Man! It's as hard as biltong
It tastes like chewing sand
That makes me irritated!

Hate is the wild monster
Invading every red heart
Draining every blood it had
Pouring ashes onto the heart

hate smells like rotten meat
whenever a dog pass by;
It stops to smell the horrible aroma
Quickly the dog hurries away

hate is the sound of mucus
spitted on the floor, “Spurt!”
It disgusts everyone
Yuck! It makes me vomit

Hate bullies me
It forces me to be negative
with its gigantic red eyes
It frightens me

Hate refuses to have companions
To have friendly faces
Even smiles and laughter is not permitted
hate is a disastrous idol!

Hate you are nothing
But trash to anything you ever invaded
so unlock my heart
And leave me in peace

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
