Love Hate

I Love Hate I love hate; it's plain to see It fills the hearts of my enemies It sucks out the life and joy from their souls And where happiness was, it leaves a large hole They like to spread rumors and go off on a rant But ask'em for a reason, You Know! They just can't You see, Hate is just darkness, a disease of the mind It soon affects everything; you'll find it time The way you talk to others, the expression on your face You tend to lose compassion and be void of all grace It just makes more enemies and never a friend And when it's all over, you'll feel empty in the end So I leave all the hate to those who revel in it And get on with my life, Loving every minute By JT Curtis Nov 2017

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN IN BRENDA'S HATERS CONTEST. So true the greatest harm delivered by haters rebounds back onto them. They are to be pitied and forgiven...

You did justice to the message that haters have black hearts and seek to gift pain to others as a way of relieving their own self-loathing, IMHO. I feel pity for such and can only pray that they someday see that darkness and race out into the light. Superb poetry my friend, and a fine message well delivered.

That's another four-letter word I never use, Jerry. Hate is a wasted emotion, so I don't hate anyone, nor would I ever suggest that people play with themselves. You've got the right attitude about loving life. It's such a gift from God.
