To Hate … wrenching the world apart
Its forte is transgressing hearts
Pitting a sibling against a sibling
Starving children without quibbling
To Hate … in battles over God
Where ‘Holy Wars’ are nothing odd
Conflicts for Religious Land
There spilling blood on oily sand
To Hate … one race against another
To all the sons who swindle mothers
To daughters who renounce their dads
To their young depraved and sad
To Hate … its promises fulfilled
When those embracing it are killed
By political lies and misconceptions
And seeking ill-conceived perfection
To Hate … as evil wins the game
Spreading anguish in the name
Of love and brotherhood of man
To Hate … it boasts the best laid plan
To Hate … until the final hour
When seething souls who give it power
Will answer to the Lord above
For hate is choosing not to love
