Poisonous Ivy

There is a poison that has ravaged man
 ever since creation
This poison deceived Adam and Eve
The poison pushed Caleb to murder
 his brother
This poison was traced in the family of 
 Israel
I believe you know the story 
This same poison pushed Haman to plan 
The mass execution of Jews in the days of 
Queen Esther and Mordecai
Now coming to recent times
Hitler and his henchmen planned the 
 extermination 
 of Jews during the second World War.
This poison is deadlier than that of the 
Adder and the Cobra
The poisonous ivy is hate, now check
  yourself if you do not have it reserved
There is an antidote for every poison
The antidote for hate is love.
