Stop the Hate

Why do we hate, I often wonder why? It spreads like a virus, causing our soul to calcify. Expanding stupendously, as far as your eye can see. Cornered in time, triggering its inhabitants to plea. Love thy neighbor, is it really all that hard? Refrain from following awry masses, stop playing off someone else's card. It's time we make a change my friends, worldwide. Start living for each other, instead of choosing a specific side. Lead by example, constructively engage each day as we all should. Stop focusing on only bad, and refocus on all that's good. Expand your mind, try putting yourself in another's shoes. There are two sides to every fence, each with different views.

great message Mark, I've been accused of writing hate poetry - what I feel for people is pity for their actions not hate, if you can find hate in my poem on plagiarism please let me know - others may have commented on it but my words are not of hate!:-( hugs jan xx

I just read your poem on plagiarism, you are merely stating fact, absolutely no hate. There is one that left a comment for you that really stands out to me. This little fellow sure sounds like he is defending plagiarism. Wow! it all makes sense to me now. Thanks for sharing that one.

I just can't imagine you ever displaying hate. Here or anywhere. There are people here with hate in their hearts but it sure in not you my friend.
