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

[Coyote Poetry]

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.

dear Zaynab... there are many Philosophies... concerning the nature of
our being alive. I believe in the Spirit born in every baby and is influenced by it's environment.
And yet there is something mysterious about the battle of good and evil. My prayers
concern the healing of the World... not only physical, but emotional. I have an open heart
to those who want to build shelters and grow nourishment for the body and soul.
May we all strive to protect each other and share our thoughts whereby we become
stronger and more understanding. gently, Pat

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hi dearest Patricia, protecting each other is vital in this world yes, and so is sharing thoughts since otherwise we all stay in a bubble. Understanding everyone is also a great step as you wisely suggest too. It is indeed great that you have an open heart to nourishment of both body and soul. My warmest thanks for your awesome words, im glad i asked for your thoughts. Take care always.

I love this piece! I completely agree we've all had our own experience with anger, and it's so hard to live with so much hate and anger in us. It seems like the right idea at first, but hatred is such a heavy burden that weighs down on us more than anyone else. Thank you for posting such an insightful poem.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

You are so right with your pearls of wisdom how you phrased it well, we would sink to a bottomless pit if i carried the stone of hatred and fear on us yes. With love we can float and soar instead for we feel light then.
I like your pen name, sounds so cool, warmest thanks for bright comment!

[Vertigo Cat1111]

It was my pleasure to read something so amazing and true, and thank you so much for the compliments!

Those who choose to
hate only hurt themselves
in the long run.

a heart filled with hate is
a heavy burden to carry
around on a daily basis
a well crafted poem here

nice work

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

My warmest thanks for such true wise moving words, I'm glad I asked for your comment, if one comes with love and no hate they will indeed feel light and unburdened always. My regards and best wishes,

We are living in an era of grievance politics. People hate becuz the political leaders brainwash them into thinking we don't have what we deserve & other people are to blame for it, other people are stealing something away from us, and it becomes a scramble of greed & grabbing & putting the other person down when we feel s****y about ourselves. Your upbeat prescription is one of the best I've read. You don't come across one bit preachy or acting pissed like this is a tirade against hating. When some do tirades against hating, it doesn't sound like a cure becuz such missives are so full of hate at the core, a reaction against hate, but still full of hate. This is the trap you have avoided with your sweetness that doesn't come across like sugary-sweet, but just honest authentic belief in love as the answer to hate (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hi dearest Margie, woww I'm so touched and awed that you saw my poem for what it is, a gentle sincere answer to all types of hate from all kinds of people. It's heartwarming to read your thoughtful great fair views and to read a golden heart like yours that can't be moved to fear or hate via brainwashing. My warmest thanks in all high esteem. Take care and stay safe always special great poetess.🌷🌷

Being of that generation who lived through the Summer of Love, we thought we could and would make a difference ... we tried ... some of us are trying still, but it is looking more and more like we are failing.
We can make a difference, however small, by reaching out to one person and offering your hand.

Good one Z. I like it.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Oh yes reaching out and extending the hand of friendship brings peace and no one should aim to be affluent at the expense of others which could reduce political material wars under guises of various false motives. Thanks soo very much for the great fab words on this poem. Cheers!!

[Crowley]

When the truth is right in front of us, it seems a shame that we can't make it happen. Is it genetic? I don't know but it seems that the easiest way to peace is compassion. Great social comment, and wonderful thought for human kind. Great writing.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yeahh peace and love are undeniably true traits good for happiness of all yet someone somewhere among humans had rather be selfish and warring instead so peace isn't possible ah. Thanks soo much for your great comment, you summed it up eloquently! Peace and cheers.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Gosh the hater troll is trying to be really deceitfully smart hacking and impersonating me, they just replied with my id!!! What a horrid imposter saying bad things on my behalf with my name! I deleted it.

"Hatred is simply a fractious bug on the brain....which doesn't always wash away with the rain..."...??? Since the brain resides inside a skull, and your bug of hatred resides on the brain....how on Earth does it come into contact with rain???? A classic example of just making up lines to fit the rhyme and making no sense whatsoever. You lost me in your first two lines, regardless of any message you follow through with thereafter.

Oh. Btw.....pleez, pleez pleez pleez......lol. Only fools and those without a skerrick of self respect beg and grovel to be reviewed. Says enough in itself.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Seriously??? You are that illiterate of metaphor?? I will delete your comment because you are just the same hater lol. By rain I meant the rain of love not the rain from the skies so only thick skulls won't get my message of love huh.

So well penned Zaynab, beautiful lines especially God only means love. Yes we are the descendants of God and brotherhood is the only welcoming means to tie up the universe. We smile in joy, writhed in pain in the same way all over the world, so why this hatred. Your poem is reflecting human kind and its very essence...

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warmest thanks for your eloquent comment vouching for peace and love against hatred . Peace and take care.

You too take care:)
