More Love

They say violence won't solve anything, but just this one time, let's all gang up and kill hate,
Lock it out of our houses, NO HATE BEYOND THIS POINT, posted on our gate,
Lock it out of our minds, our heart and our soul,
Feel the warmth creeping in, love warming up the cold,
It's in your hands, ask yourself, 'do I need to keep this bottled up until it becomes hate',
Or is it time to talk about it, apologize, make things right, it's never too late,
Don't let hate destroy your home, your future, your life,
Feed hate to the fishes, cut it into small pieces, let love be the knife...

A great message, Richard, I never could understand why people choose to hate. In the words of John Lennon "All You Need is Love." Write on, John

Wise words. Most people I do not believe hate -- just unfortunately have to spend their lives avoiding it, and protectively reacting to it. Excellent message. Joe.

love is the answer, not seeing most of the writers who use to be around when I started,

A noble goal! Hate is a tricky beast, one we are always battling, it seems. Well said :)
