I Hate Hate

'I hate him... I hate her... I hate them... I hate it...' You hear these sentiments all the time Me, too. I hear them too. Yet I just hate hearing them. For the thing in life that I most hate, that I detest Is the word, HATE What the world needs now Is a Colossal Dose of Unconditional Love! Love is ALL we need! May 15, 2019 Inspired by Kevin Shaw's "It Really Gets Me Going" contest But not a contest entry

Hate has no place in our civilised world sadly there are many who would disagree. Tom

Unfortunately, you are so right, Tom: It seems that some people, some governments', and even some countries' raison d'etre is hatred, the unadulterated kind. Horrible. Thanks for the comment. ~ gw

GW, I appreciate the message in your poem. There is great anger in the world, so it is easy for many to hate. Daily expressions of love on our part -in both words and actions- are well worth the effort, benefiting us and others as well. ~Mark

'Love conquers all' --- and it really does, as you so insightfully elaborated. Thank you for your sensible, sensitive comment, Mark! Best wishes, Gershon
