Love

love

whispers

love calls out

calling for hate

this alone it seeks

animosity hides

in dark and hidden places

can love be heard above the din

of war or violent racist speech

love is anti-hate, hate is anti-love

hate is anti-love, love is anti-hate

hate leaves searing marks upon the soul

that only love can quench and heal

hate’s hot garrote strangles hearts

kills all but caustic wrath

regardless the toll

love will not cease

to seek and

vanquish

hate
