I'm just sick of hate crimes/wars/etc... and while at work today I kept having little thoughts and jotted them down. Nothing spectacular but I moved it around until it was a semi-decent poem. Just a way to share my thoughts really.
Peace out. :D

Hate
It eats at your soul & may never let go.
Why so much hatred for reasons unknown?
Is it for the faith they follow, the color of their skin
Or the country or culture that they were born within?
Do you seethe inside because they are thinner or fatter?
To hate someone never knowing about the choices that matter
the ones that bring joy, sorrow & laughter.
Do you sing along to the same old songs?
Yell at the tv for a sports call gone wrong?
Laugh with your kids on a summer day
Take your spouse to the same play?
Read the same books or jog the same path?
You will never know because of your wrath.
Blind hatred leaves a gaping hole
Where friendships might have grown.
Hatred is a beast that always needs to be fed
If we could find the strength we could leave it for dead.
To look beyond and find the ties that bind
This world would be a better place for all mankind.
