HATRED

Life is meant to be loved not to be wasted in hatred or fear

Hatred, a deep ocean

An emotion

That ripped my soul for years

 

Painfully unaware

I hated

Everything about you

 

Desisted every thought

mutilated every tiny nerve

Boiled my blood in vain

 

Your picture electrocuted

My throbbing brain

Vengeance muzzled my speech

 

I gasped for breath

As devilish thoughts

Gripped my veins

It took me so long

To realize simple truth

It wasn’t you I hated

 

Hatred vanished like a mirage

Form my nascent mind

 Freed from bondage that lingered

 

You were no one else

But, my own reflection

In the mirror of life

 

You are a fellow human

In flesh and blood

Nationality, creed and color

 

Doesn’t matter my dear

So long we remain free

From the  bondage

 

Of Gadgets of fear

Which plunder

Love, friendship and providence.

A stunning, stirring write... I often wonder how people can cause such pain.. the hate behind their actions... the news is flooded with darkness.. May we all seek a deeper beauty and wonder in the world, and yes, love that bring us finally together.
