The Way of Hate
Watched the pain drops, drain the petals Fall upon the spines and nettles Crash and splash to pour and hoar Dissolve and trash forevermore
The rain had washed away the lust Like wear that turns the stone to dust Drifting off into the air More than flesh and bone could bear
Burning turning cooked in time Growing shoots of changing prime Fussing into something new The essence of a nature coup
To watch a flower come and go And turn your eyes before it’s sew Deny the efforts of its life Is not to see or hear the fife
The steps of hate are agony A waste of fates anatomy

See? That's why I stay away from hate, and if I must, just "dislike". You are on top of your form today...

Too true. Would that all could know that hate is a bitter poison that kills the soul slowly and most painfully. Would not then compassion and love be a better brew?
Enjoyed this wise write.
SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

sigh...yes, indeed, to sometimes overlook and deny the perfection in it....
Good Morning Sy, once again you shower us with wise places

Hate is a way of allowing ourselves to blame others for our own shortcomings...
I know you don't harbor this feel. And I would bet you never will.
Thank you Sir Sy....

This is probably really strange, but the poem made me think about driving these Houston road. People speed from traffic light to light. I usually go about the speed limit. Sometimes angry drivers tailgate or pass and snear at me.....in the end we almost always get to the red light at the same time. I think about all the hateful energy they project and where does it get them?....right beside me at the stop light! Loved the poem, Seymour. ....jo
