Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Hatred

Hate all you want…
Live in a storm your soul brews
Burn your country flag
Curse your fellow Patriots
Infiltrate peaceful gatherings
Spread lies and stomp on values
Act upon evil, curse as if you do no wrong
Ignore the good things that were done for you
Go on hating, hating and hating
But, I tell you this:
The person you will destroy, is yourself
The place you will end up being will be worse,
Than you ever perceived the person or place, you hated!

Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2021 at 4:34 PM I try to never allow hatred to take up much time in my soul, because nothing has ever destroyed me faster, taking my heart one bite at a time. Well penned Heidi. Heidi Sands January 11, 2021 at 5:16 PM Bless you Caren. Thank you :)
