No More Hate

No more Hate

It makes me sad
to know how much hate
the world has bred
by shutting love's gate.

There has been war
sadness, anger and tears
our home has become
a place filled with fears.

God created us
and this he knows
love is needed
wherever life grows.

A little love 
is never hard to give 
but man has forgotten
what it means to live.

Love is something 
we should always cherish
for wherever it grows
hate shall perish.

Just open your heart 
and see it fly
it shall cover the earth
and fill the sky.

It is not lost
but just not found
we need to find it
and turn the world around.

Fill it with love
instead of hate
let's find the key
to open love's gate.

Very, very good write. Easy to read and ah so very true. Love has gotten lost in the shuffle...and yes, we need to find it and spread it...

This is lovely, Maryam. I love the sentiment in this beautifully written poem. There is to much hate in the world and not enough love, kindness and understanding. Too many people go out of their way to deliberately hurt others. Great job, Maryam. Love, Robin
