Hatred

Hatred is love
;love is hatred 
one looks out for the other 
the other looks out for itself 
one outpours its soul   
the other locks itself up
one would starve to death before it lets the other starve
the other would sit greedily at a table overflowing while the other starves
the meaning of the poem is without(one)
(the other) would deny itself  
to be loved and without(the other)
love would deny itself
so without this balance
nothing would survive
