Hatred pours out hotly
burning away sympathy
reducing tolerance
in a bright flash
that is nearly ********
And that's the lie of it
Exercising hatred makes it
stronger
Breathes new life to it
sometimes a life of its own
and exhaling that burn
sears things within
cauterizing the heart
turning free will to ashes
Hatred leads to ignorance
it stems from fear
and wallows in indulgence
Who would want to live in it?
But it is so easy
to just ignore the signs
of the slow death of the mind
throttled in hate
