I WANTED TO WRITE A POEM ABOUT HATE

I wanted to write a poem about hate…

as a way to understand it

but the more I tried…the more this poem…

didn’t go the way I planned it…

 

I wanted to write a poem about hate…

but the more I searched my brain

I found hate much too complicated…

too difficult to explain…

 

I wanted to write poem about hate…

instead the best I can do

is write about something I’ve often wondered about

something…I believe to be true….

 

Something we all need to be reminded….

to remember before it’s too late…

how we were created by love…to love

not created by hate…to hate.

 

It’s funny:

I wanted to write a poem about hate

because lately…it’s what I’ve been thinking of

but when I sat down to actually write it

all I could think about

 

was love.

The bigger topics are always

The bigger topics are always the hardest to write about.  If we try real hard maybe love will find a way to conquer hate.

You Rock!

I will go into the cataclysm and wander around to explore the sources and needs and causes. The juxtapositioning of wanting to write it and choosing no, just rocks! :D
