Hate Defined

Hate Defined

by: John Sills

It burns, it bites, it boils the seas,

It churns and destroys for all the world to see

It is rancid and vile it is the cancer within me

No pretty words or flowers can remedy

It begins with a twitch

Like fire on the wound, or ripping the stitch

It swells into chaos and discord

until you can't remember what your fighting for

All you see is Rage, whilst you rattle in your cage

Your hear feels like its on fire

Without love or desire

A charred remain

within the brain

lies a desolate flame

Sundered and put to shame

Ask me now why it binds

It is one of the many deaths of the mind

Its fires will bring ruin to the verse

And upon your heart a plague and a curse

It will choke the life right out of you

Until there is nothing left to do.

Words become razor blades

Goodness withers and fades.

Intention becomes Malice

and within you the seeds of the infernal palace

No pretty words could excuse

When hate calls up on you
