Taught Hatred

Children have to be taught
To hate others without tolerance sought
So we see children holding severed heads
And in uniforms of hatred instead

Can we live together with understanding bred
We have in the past seen once hatred is fed
It will continue to  grow and multiply to see 
Until the only thing left is war and misery to be.
