Is there room for hate in the world,

only to have the energy

zapped out of our souls,

by the actions that

feed off this emotion?

Should the feeling of rage

create a demise based upon

one's negativity?

Does this feeling need to have

an identifiable label, called "hate",

that makes nausea encompass

our stomachs, as tears flow softly?

Should rage consume one's head

with mountains of resentment

in a place where one despises another?

Who are we to judge, criticize,

or to even feed off another's words?

Has hating someone, something, or

someplace, even of a whole country,

been defined with such strength,

so strong an emotion?

Has "hate" become the new culture

that so many are immuned to,

with tranquility gone to avail itself to?

Has forgiveness been so blas

from the hearts of those that thrive off misery?

Will there ever be peace in everyone's

home, classroom, streets?

Will hate dissipate from the world.....

and from the universe?

Does anyone hear me, out there?

Can anyone answer me...

with something that makes sense

and with some solutions

and something more than

pragmatic ideologies? Please!
