Hate's Snare

Hate is like an infection that has the power to torment one’s soul…
It’s like cancer when left unchecked,
It continues to spread until it’s out of control.

Hate could be defined as an infectious decease…
Those who hate often seek out others,
As if spreading bitterness will somehow,
Fulfill all their inner needs.

Hate fails to thrive when it’s left on its own…
Thus those infected must constantly poke and prod others,
So their hate can spread and become fully grown.

And so take heed those who spread this dreaded decease…
For the snares you set for others,
Will inevitably prove to be the very snares,
That kept you from living your own life, happy and free!

    Thank you LoraMae, this is the first I’ve written in two weeks, unfortunately it was inspired by the realization that some people just never come around. :-(

    Some people do just seem so consumed by hate. Agreed is like a disease. I guess one can only keep praying that ONE DAY they will turn.
