Renga 9 "Hatred's Legacy"

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Tue, 2014-08-19 17:16

I hate hate to death
the United States warships
in my home harbour,
skinheads and conservatives
make me hate me for hating.

Hatred breeds unrest
the soul is blinded from truth
the mind is troubled
it leads one to the dark path
which will end in true despair

Hatred starts more wars
between race and religion
down through centuries
regardless of well wishers
outcome is blood guilt and death
