Rama Balasubramanian Poet Rhyme

Love Or Hate Minichu

When you are given hate
can you reciprocate it by giving back love 
or you hate?

When you get hate
for clear conscience, and peace give love
not hate

No sin
if you give love 
Win

When you are given hate
for clear conscience, and peace give love
Win

Harry Horsman February 10, 2021 at 9:01 PM Hate can only destroy the hater. Rama, great message for all here. Rama Balasubramanian February 10, 2021 at 9:04 PM I agree fully. Hate destroys hater more than the person hated. Best to forgive forget and enjoy the moment in front. Take care Rama

Gershon Wolf February 10, 2021 at 5:06 PM Fight hate with flower power! Nice write, Rama! :) gw Rama Balasubramanian February 10, 2021 at 5:35 PM Thanks Gerson.

Judy Ball February 10, 2021 at 12:43 PM Well said Rama. The Bible says: "Beloved let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone who loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love." 1 John 4:7-8 Also the unknown prophet says: When you are treated badly smile. It worries your enemies and they wonder what you are up to. ;) Rama Balasubramanian February 10, 2021 at 5:35 PM What a wonderful comments. Great words. I will treasure these words and use them in my poem as quote. No Idea of bible. Never read one. Second part well said. Thanks. :)

Andrea Dietrich February 10, 2021 at 9:32 AM good one. In case you did not see what I replied to you, I will copy paste it here. Regarding double dactyl thing: they said it this way: Another line, usually the sixth often has a single, double dactyl phrase that has never been used in conventional poems.(I took it to mean "made up" word. Their example was "necro-romantically" But in another part they said a word like valedictorian is ok, so I guess I did not have to worry about that!!

Beryl Edmonds February 10, 2021 at 2:57 AM Good advice Rama, when facing hate rise above, peace only comes with the grace of love. Regards, Belle Rama Balasubramanian February 10, 2021 at 4:03 AM Beautiful comment. Peace only comes with grace of love. Do very true. Take care Rama

Victor Buhagiar February 9, 2021 at 10:53 PM The best lesson: hate never wins. ~~ Rama Balasubramanian February 10, 2021 at 4:02 AM I agree. Hate spoils our mind and life.
