Okunsebor Williams Poet Quatrain

Hate Veil

So much hurt hatches a darkness so deep;
Messes the mind till there is no light left.
Leave thoughts groping for an arm to seize.
It burns every bridge of reason with revenge.

The mind consoles the soul with justice
After each aftermath. Pushing the being
To lengths too long for reason to run.
Its recall fixes the wheels for the hunt.

It gets so deep, more than the soul is lost.
Friends get hurt and new knives take form.
It now becomes a flight of endless fight.
When equity is served, some push it ‘side.

Jerry T Curtis April 22, 2015 at 6:23 AM This is an interesting piece---I makes one think. Do emotions make us human, or less than. Certainly hate like fear can become obstacles that hold us back from achieving great things, while hurting ourselves and others---Okunsebor, Hate Veil is a very appropriate title Okunsebor Williams April 22, 2015 at 6:46 AM Thanks Curtis. I believe the problem is not emotions but control. When u can actually control human emotions it can be a very powerful positive. Just imagine a case where someone takes the pain to makes sure others don't suffer the same feat.
