Notes About The Poem

The Cruelty of Hate and the Consequences of Hate Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Michael Fulkerson

Make it not your mate


Make not hate your mate;	
Don't go with it on a date.
It’s indeed a very bad trait!

Allow it not to kill your discretion;
It badly injures your impression.
Doubt not, it halts your progression!

Sow not this deadly seed in your mind;         
In each and every one, faults it does find.
And imports headaches of every kind!

It’s against all good instruction;
Its ill effects need no introduction.
Its result is nothing but destruction!

The wars of the past, we have as samples!
The ongoing wars are its live examples!!
