~ What then could be, ~
if hate wanted nothing more  ... 
nothing more ... but the best 
for-another ... and-itself?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Saw, the reality, and-
felt-the-evidence, was-
shown the light in view 
of-the-division that-has-
~ risen;- taken-root-and-
sprouted-up ...  growing-
~ from-the-cold center;- of ~
~ its heart of greed, the selfish,  
~~ poisonous desire for everything, ~~ 
~ (more), moving-toward the hour of its ~
~ isolation, choking-out-all-that-is genuine,
advancing-onward within-this belief, and-yes
what-if-it-was-awakened;- for the first time, to
the-fallacies-of-its-own-faithless and complete-
~~~~~~~~~~~ denial of its, ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
~ lack of trust, its ~ 
hopeless, condition;- 
yes what if through 
perfect kindness, 
it-was provided
another way? ...
        ~~~        
~  ~~ ~
~ Was-shown- ~
~ the      hard    sting, ~
~ the-    absent-    hand- ~
~ of-its-ugliness, ~
~ its prejudice, ~
~ all-the- ~
~ tears-it- ~
~ caused- ~
  ~ that- ~
~ have-
~ fallen-
~  in-  ~
~ despair. ~
