Hatred

In shadows deep, where anger fuels the night, Hatred brews, a tempest fierce, unkind, It blinds the soul, consumes with bitter spite, Yet offers naught but chaos to unwind, In raging storms, no peace can find its light. In whispered halls where grievances reside, Pause to ponder, let empathy prevail, For every soul bears stories deep inside, A chance to understand, to lift the veil, Through empathy's grace, bridges are untied. Let love unfurl its wings, a gentle dove, Embrace the hearts that ache and yearn for peace, For in compassion lies the power to shove Aside the hate that makes our conflicts increase, In unity, our world can rise above.
