Hate
Hate is a mental illness—
the most destructive kind
that deadens the Heart
and poisons the Mind.
Hate spreads like a deadly virus
infecting much of Mankind
when Fear controls emotions
and actions are unkind,
uncaring, unloving, unjust,
harming all it finds…
Hate feeds a Shadow World
where ‘Living and Dead’ both dwell,
a Realm of All Fears,
all Illusions and Delusions,
Deceptions and Lies…
Here Love becomes a Shadow,
twisted to what it’s not—
violent anger, desired revenge,
a destructive Whirlwind
of Misery and Death…
A deadly Weapon of Energy
formed in thoughts and emotions,
in cultivated, distorted,
warped World Views,
Hate kills the Joy of Life
and Peace of many Lives.
