Hate

Hate, a flame that burns so bright

A poison that seeps through the soul

Leaving scars that never grow old

It festers and grows, a cancerous might

Destroying all that's good and bright

It divides and conquers, a cruel design

Leaving only darkness and decline

Hate, a weight that's hard to bear

A burden that's crushing, beyond repair

It distorts and twists, a warped view

Making enemies, where friends once drew

But still, we can choose to let go

To extinguish the flames, and heal the sores

To bridge the gaps, and mend the tears

And fill the voids, with love and cheers

For hate may seem powerful, but it's weak
