Taught very young you must not hate anyone ,
for to hate another is a song unsung.
We each have a journey in this world to take,
so why darken our journey with hate.
Time wasted by this hate at hand ,
playing a deadly game holds the devils hand .
To hate another makes you look hard and feeling sad ,
its the path which many have taken within this land.
Look at yourself and look beyond the hate,
where is that fun loving person making such a mistake .
For to hate another we in turn hate ourselves ,
it shows upon each of us taking from our inner wealth .
Get in front of a mirror and think of the one you hate ,
see how your expressions changes such beauty it degrades .
Fowel things spurt from the lips that also holds love ,
tell me is it worth it to feel this hate acting with push and shove.
I hate this feeling so I just let it go,
for when I look into the mirror I so want to know.
That we each have a mind of our own to use at will,
so I choose to love and understand and eventually forgive.
Yes just children whatever the age,
for as we grow up we still feel the pains of rage .
Why is this I ask if we were just taught very young hate grows,
hate is not a song you want to sing all along you know .
It grows with every action we bestow on the world .
It shows upon the faces of our boys and girls ,
Taught by their elders who let hate take the lead in time .
tell me as you look upon your parents how has this helped them I cry ,
Healing == One can not know freedom of life if you hate,
Advice == And often through advice of those who love can show youthe way.
Taken ==If we look upon ourselves and know this hate within so grows,
Eternity == we then in stopping the hate can see the blessings upon each of our thresh holds.
.
To be able to look into the mirror and know happiness within,
one has to stop the hate and in doing so see the love through your own grin .
Know life is what we make it so why not take the lead,
and stop the hate so our world could see peace .
Are you unhappy and cant seem to find your way,
believe me first you have to rid yourself of this hate .
For hate grows within you and will bring you down ,
to a place where love will no longer come around .
