Hate Anger Love Forgiveness

Hate
Supermassive black hole
residing in the soul
that distorts love, devours 
peace and destroys relationships
produces anger.


Anger
A smoldering ember
that builds until it
bursts forth in a white
hot sheet of flame
which consumes all
and leaves nothing
but ash in its wake,
but it can be doused
by love

Love
A stream of cool water
which quenches the
flames of anger through
mercy, gentleness, humility and
meekness and leads to forgiveness.

Forgiveness
A calming force for good
that defeats hate and anger
and restores peace to
relationships and souls.
