Hate Be But the Devil's Ploy

Did you ever wonder about how is it that humankind harbors hatred
Did you ever wonder about how did life become so accursed
Why does Man, with darkness, does be acquainted
About how and when to the devil, did be acquiesce

Hatred does root from Man's heart
Sometimes it snatches away his comfort
With hatred he does become obsessed
For only hatred, in his heart, has been amassed

Yes, Man is now ruled by his own ego
Never shall he accept to bend
For his wants only shall he care to stand
Never even bothering whether he does put others in great sorrow

Hatred does cause millions of people to be killed
Hatred does cause the devil to be thrilled
For with Man's hatred for his own likes does he feed
Yes, even if such does cause Man's blood to bleed

Hatred does cause Man to keep his distance
Away from those who do love him, he does be a monster
Not even does he believe in goodness
Not even does he believe that life, without hatred, would have been better!

Hatred can lead Man to cause great destruction
Not only to himself but to all those who surround him
Never shall be believe that he does bask in confusion
Believing that only he does exist, that towards himself, none has the right to desist

Hatred can ruin each and everyone
Pray, fall not into hatred's trap
It is all a ploy of the devil
The devil being but the one who wishes to see Man fall

Fall not for such crap
Life, without love, is all dark and gloomy
Life, with hatred, is like a dark road
At every corner, there does be, a most powerful enemy!
