Hate is a mental illness
that entertains the mind
with creeping, creaking thoughts
that rob and harm and bind.
Hate steals the Joy from LIfe
and buries Love alive.
It casts Compassion out,
with taunts meant to deride.
Hate fuels the feuds of Ages
that set the World aflame
with jealous Pride and Prejudice
that slander God’s Great Name.
