Hatred Poems - Poems about Hatred

They told me I was pretty for a black girl But if that is the case You want me to interpret that as being special That out of every black girl Im the exception To your pre conceived perception To how you view a black woman The only way to take it Is as an insult Black women are beautiful But your attitude isn't And when...

For some, it’s a softer escape A flight from silence, not quite love As if a ring alone could mend a soul Bruised by too many “maybe tomorrows." To others, it’s help dressed in vows A lifeline tied to daily needs To fatten the pig at market day Turn union into means to feed. Some whisper “love” with shaky lips But love to them,...

I have seen a lot in this life, The only thing I haven't seen is that which doesn't exist, I have seen a lot in this life, That which my mouth cannot explain. Tell us what you saw Mr. Stephen, What is it you saw that Troubles you, Did you see the rainbow or seven colours of madness, Tell us Mr. Ekemezie...

She was thrilled to be in the nightgown commercial When the rain fell, the photographer said let’s not give up She had no idea what this would mean to her career She danced, frolicked and pretended to love the rain Feeling like a fake, a poser, wondering when it would be over The photographer kept snapping photos. She was getting miffed. It...

Clouds of smoke billowed over ruined buildings That once were homes safe and welcoming. Schools where children were learning, Hidden now from view by dust clouds billowing. Out of the dust men came with guns began to fire, Indiscriminate in who they killed mothers, fathers. Such a wailing of grief rose to the...

My hatred weaves into verses like a serpent of smoke, I am a sad poet who bathes his pen in blood and shadows, I seek my reason in the past, in those days that seem never to die, And memories are my muses, ghosts nesting in my soul. My hatred grows when I uncover my scars, Turning them into fresh...

She was the girl that went unnoticed She kept herself small, she didn't want to be the focus But deep in her pockets Her biggest secret She was a poet It wasn't some big revelation Like she had already known it Her lack of confidence wouldn't let her do it But little did she know she was already chosen When she was born her...

Raw, unfiltered anger, it’s all that I know. Constantly Aggravated by worthless pieces of scum that I struggle Getting off of my shoes. A nasty glare, a hostile retort, Everything and anything can, and will, fan the flame. After the infliction, what happens then? A swelling, a vicious, Nasty swelling in the throat. A horrible torrent of flames threatens to Destroy...

How Long a wait will my weak feet endure? For many years On your snub I still wail. Yet Veils of lies don’t cover your allure; Your Elegance I still cannot but hail. Your words Often fail to convey passion, Your heart Remains closed off to compassion, Since you Heave out too little in response, Within the Arcade of hatred you ensconce. With...

“Come one, come all!” The hawker summons Try your luck On the unmoored Ferris wheel Hurl a dart At the Kewpie dolls Win one for the lady To consummate the deal (Chorus) Intruders in the festival Outsiders at the gates Nothing like a carnival To bring up dormant hates Where the pavement meets the grass Behind the stand of funnel cakes, Someone's getting hornery Their pants down at their feet This balloon-tank...

"Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater." -George Washington Carver "Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate...

dedication for love You’re being noticed by others, While I search for your love. I’ve been lied to, knowing I've been Replaced by your mother's love. Oh, what can I get in return? I've taken all the warmth from your arms But it's futile; we're nothing worthwhile. You seem to be unaware of my needs, though I need you more than ever. I lost myself...

Becoming a slave to my own paradise, Becoming clingy to my own disregarded appetites, Becoming a prisoner of my own created prison, Becoming lonesome in my own crowd. Recognising something lethal, Pouring out something eternal, Bearing some dirt of civilisation, Tearing apart the burden of my own existence. I've created my own traps, Living forever in my own satire. No appeal on the docket today; I...
