Hatred
Hatred
In the past I just loathed their opinions and whims
That I felt were too narrow and poorly thought out
For their stubbornness came from a mind much too dim
To see freedom and progress that no one should doubt
And I’ve wearied of trying to listen and learn
Of their views not my own, from a place I’ve not been
And I won’t take more time to attempt to discern
Their commitments and vows so exclusive and thin
So the time has now come to declare them accursed
And conclude that their motives have always been vile
And with those so enlightened to view them perverse
May their mortal lives soon be no longer worthwhile
Once the hatred infects all perception does fade
A predictable slide to a deadly cascade
