Love and Hatred

Twin brothers born of humanity Raised in the heart land Fed by circumstances Shaped by choice Same freedom Different destinies I saw Love grow with limbs Stretching wide to pull everything To himself even hatred And i saw hatred grow with craws Hiding them in his bosom Till they grow longer and stronger I thought this Love kid was too touchy And i treasured Hatred he was for special occasions Defending my weaknesses and flaws Love was ridiculing my my all efforts He was becoming extravagant, giving this giving that Not like Hatred a sweet heart who measured According to what he treasured Years have gone by and Love has prospered with many friends Many people giving back to him Yet hatred brought out his claws, His fangs came out And he grew three horns One of rejection another for despair And bigger one with this word engraved 'loser' I watched these twins Walk different directions like light and darkness Their waring grand fathers I walked two their birthday parties Few turned up, gave him crowns and called him Dad For hatred the party was noisy Many gathered worshiped him In fear of the horns Love commanded his servants to dress all that came with compassion, faithfulness, and honor Hatred commanded his subjects To kill every one that came for the party Many died few survived
