Hate will consume us all
As one by one we fall
In a church,
School yard or mall
We are facing a brick wall
And it’s become a siren call
Of how hatred
Will envelop us all
Hate will bury us
And turn us all to dust
Like a scab with an oozing crust
Until we all go bust
As eventually we all must
If it’s in God we trust
Then what should be discussed
Is how we remain nonplussed
Hate will not denigrate
Underneath its own weight
So let’s not swallow the bait
That will ensure our fate
Becomes what we anticipate
Albeit too little too late
It’s such a heavy freight
And if you will, a checkmate
Hate is such a heavy load
That it will explode or implode
Ensconced in its abode
While still in hatred mode
As history has showed
When we go down that road
For all that it forebodes
The remaining episodes
