Hate Begets Hate

Hate begets hate

The hate you give 

Is the hate you’ll receive 

A vicious cycle of no healing

Just more wounds and pain

A word when held as a weapon

That can cut sharper and deeper 

Than any sword

Creating fissure, tearing apart

What once was whole and beautiful 

What was once together

But now broken and shattered to a million pieces

All toothless and blind

Hate doesn’t bring any solution

It just leads to more hurt, more pain

More resentment, more life gone in vain

Hate is not the answer

Hate is not a balm

Hate just creates more wounds

Where there was once none

Hate consume you whole

Like a fire that consumes a soul

Hates takes over your body, mind and soul

So if you do want to stop this cycle of hate

Learn not give into the seduction of these words

Maybe then there would be a little bit of peace

So let’s not given into hate
