One word in the humane language
No matter the source of tongue
A word deserving of deletion
From mouths of everyone
Hate
A very strong word
It serves no positive purpose
Not when love needs to be heard
The word hate
Brings out the worst in all of us
Instilling hostility in children and adults
Must we be a world so callous?
I hate this, and I hate that
I hate you and you hate me
Where is the love,
that we need so to be?
Our world so divided
We can’t find a common ground
That love is so scarce
Not enough to go around?
Four billion years on
This rock we call Earth
And you’re telling me now
That hate defines our worth?
Hate, a poor choice of words
I believe we’re better than that
Can’t we just say, “I disagree”
And leave it at that?
Hate, the magnet
Pulling us all down
Down to the will of evil
Where our end of days are found
