Been thinking about hate and anger
Social commentary, some thoughts.
been thinking about hate and
and how,
even with so much on my plate
I still find time to hate
we all do,
to a lesser or greater extent
so I'm by no means virtuous
or a great example to follow
been thinking about how hate
hate and anger fit together,
when really
they have no place together
Hate is dangerous, toxic
the opposite of love,
while anger
anger can be
righteous diginfied,
healthy and justified.
when the motives...the
motives behind it are sound
when a solution...a
solution to it can be found
So quick we too often are to
to choose hate and anger
to our own detriment
been thinking about hate and
and anger, but really just
want to think about,
love and understanding
