Hatred

Hatred is terrible,
Hatred is cruel,
Hatred is something that we just shouldn't do.
Like a horrid uncontrollable fiery blaze,
It starts from a nasty word, action or phrase.
Then grows bigger and bigger in might, 
Then ones hatred turns to despite.
Till someone steps in with goodness and light,
To end this horrible hatred filled fight.
So please stop hatred and let forgiveness in your heart,
At least then you will know that you have made a start.
