Swat the hate- hate bug

Hatred causes loss and harm only, to yourself and to others. Let's see my hater spill hate and Islmophobia nevertheless for this poem but I will try not to respond and delete or block them .

Hatred is simply a fractious bug on the brain
which doesn't always wash away with the rain
that is neither the rain of love nor that of homily

But if you solemnly profess belief
in the God right above
let this even to atheists be relief
that God only means love
for no religion preaches hatred to man or family

The wronged wishing to be placated
The tortured wishing to be avenged
Embittered humans provoked to malice and hatred
forgetting we are all but Adam's progeny and kindred
Alas, hatred's a scenario that so costs humanity

Most of us are tired of hearing
of this cause and effect'
circle of violence and repercussion
Why wilfully make yourself a target
and fall in lasting perdition?

We don't wanna hear the hate crimes is a virus
that has no earthly cure
Since compassion is a vaccine
to prevent it for sure
Yet some might think
this is easy to sing and easy to say
Gosh, but don't the world need more die-hard supporters
of peace till judgement day?

Keep the peace and spread it.!!
Do your bit, come use your wit.
Swat and squash the hate bug from your mind and heart
Promote love and compassion even with words and art

Don't constrict your heart with rancour and hate
Do all you can so hatred in the world abate

I agree my friend.
"Keep the peace and spread it.!!

We must set the example for our children. Lead with kindness, concern and hope. Outstanding work shared.

I am pro-peace my friend. Maybe we can start a river of peace, that can spread to the four corners of our world. You are welcome.

Excellent sense of meter in this. I'm glad I read it out loud the first time reading it.

Me too! This is such a heartfelt compassionate write, on a universal topic. The theme is intelligently demonstrated with the symbolism of the bug on the brain, references to religion and its purest of intentions, and how its messages have skewed so far from the original forming this cycle of violence and and repercussion. I enjoyed this very much, topics I like to ponder.

Warm thanks for the great feedback and nice thoughts in supporting love as opposed to hate. I was wondering what messages you meant have skewed far from what topic. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care,

I wanted you to KNOW I did stop by...because I wanted to, not had to.

You chose a good but also a hard subject to speak about. Mainly cause so many have spoken but what ever seems to change. A moment's passage and people being people are at it again. We have the heart and the hope within each of us... maybe one day fingers will touch and lives intertwine and the tears will be shared and cause new life to finally flower.

Of course dear poet nobody should feel forced to comment, im thrilled that you dropped by with such positive thoughts and yes some people are quick to jump with hate rather than being understanding. May your thoughful wishes for the world come true. Merry xmas and if you don't celebrate it, happy hols!

Blessed Be, miss

First, I dearly love Maya's and Jimi's inspirational quotes you've so warmheartedly shared with us … thank you so very much, Dear Zaynab 🤗

The wondrously beautiful effect on us from your words inspire ever-so deeply and wisely for the world to avoid hate in every way we can, that all humankind may live together in peaceful harmony.
I can think of no more valuable or needed Christmas Present to receive than love, instead of hate.
You've even inspired me to compose a little Quatrain verse, as follows:

Your powerfully writ words strike deep and true,
coming sincerely from the heart and soul of You.
There is nothing more in this world we all need
than to join hands in love, with our spirits freed.

Lady Zaynab, I truly have enjoyed your excellently written poem, with smooth-flowing lines, touches of understanding and wisdom threaded throughout, and spot-on rhymes that any poetess and poet will admire and enjoy, finding true inspiration, as you've so deeply inspired me.

Many blessings and much love from yours truly in this holiday season, and for all times to come … again, thank you, Dear Zaynab! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Robert Trakofler]

Nicely said Zaynab! We have all had enough of hatred and divisiveness it a time for better angels my friend!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yeahhh man dont the haters and disunity trumpeters ever get tired of promoting hatred and disunity. Thanks soo much for your nice comment, yes we all need angels and angelic kindness ah.

[alanwgraham]

Well done Zainab. Swat the hate is a great and powerful image. Religion should be a positive force for good but as you know it can also bring out the worst in people. When we listen to the news we don't hear the good news but just the evil side. I don't think that most Jews, Moslems or Christians even know they are worshiping the same God.
All the best.

Thanks soo much for your fine thoughts on this poem, i agree heartily that the God of all these Abrahamic religions is the one same God. Allah is indeed the name of God mentioned in the Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic bible.
Yes the news only tell bad news mostly, it doesn't always throw light on those who save lives. It is not religion that brings the worst, it is political material motives that bring the worst in people with religion as a facade. Then there are those anti religion who commit evil to actually defame religion by pretending to adhere to it.
Have a good day, stay safe.

[Archishman Rick]

Very thorough and vocal poem about the most fundamental virtue that is often subdued and shadowed by subsidiary and superficial ones, which all inevitably feed the futile hate. I applaud the way you have upheld the value of love through indicating the significance of transcending perceived boundaries, the power of forgiveness and the importance of keeping faith and trust to grow inspiration and take these virtues forward. Kudos my friend.
Warm regards, and wish you all things great.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Thanks soo much for expanding from my poem, you extracted the essence of love and peace that it is promoting desperately in a world where some had rather war and fight.
Best wishes,
