Jane Vandoe Poet Lyric

To Hate

To Hate ... wrenching the world apart
Its forte is transgressing hearts
Pitting a sibling against a sibling
Starving children without quibbling

To Hate... in battles over God
Where 'Holy Wars' are nothing odd
To children renouncing moms and dads
To their young depraved and sad

To Hate... as evil wins the games
Spreading anguish in the name
Of faith and brotherhood of man
To Hate... it boasts the best laid plan

To Hate.. where in the final hour
Those seething souls who give it power
Will answer to the Lord above
For Hate is choosing... not to Love

Anil Deo May 15, 2020 at 7:23 PM Jane, thank U, thank U, thank U for encouraging me. Yes we choose these DARK ways. Why? Your poems second to last stanza suggests Humans hate "in God's name." So glad U have Stanza #1, "sibling against sibling" (my Dad played us against each other!!?) Bless you (Peace & shalom, ShalOm).anil deo Jane Vandoe May 16, 2020 at 1:16 PM Thank you... for your words of encouragement in my endeavor to express the feelings I hear from my heart...
