The "Hate" I drank

I was walking down the Street

I came across one I didn't want to meet

This one is easily instigated

And thrives on being hated


Hate is the choice of poison

Hate is what they destroy in

Blinded by Hate

You cannot communicate


Hate has them blind

Love is absent from their mind

Hate tears them apart

Love is absent from their heart


I know this to be true

It was me, not you

I was counterfeit

And a bigger hypocrite


A mess was my life

A life full of strife

Hate is what I planted

Fear is what was granted


Deeper I sank into the dark

Into a Sea with one nasty shark

Weights were on my feet

Proof of my deceit


To the bottom, I sank

My hate I drank

More proof of no goodwill

It made my stomach ill


At the bottom, I awoke

To see death in a hooded cloak

My heart ran chill

Death was ringing up the bill


A price I had no say

A price I could not pay

A punishment that was just

A punishment that was a must


A hand reached out to me

A hand to set me free

Love became a light

It set hate, to flight


Do you know this hand I speak of?

It reaches out in love.
It is a nail-scarred hand.



Sincerely,


David Kitchens, Author
