A Wasted Energy

I cannot say I hate anybody as hate does seem a wasted energy
Although there are people not many that I would rather not meet or see
As people I can't say I like them and they surely do not like me
We have very little in common and we look at life quite differently
I can only hope they do not hate me for hatred is not a good thing
That if they once harboured a grudge for me that to their grudges for me they don't cling
I'm too old for nursing old grudges the clock on my life ticking fast
I want to forget my bad memories I feel they belong to the past
'Tis natural for to not like a person but hatred as a feeling too strong
The word itself sounds even angry to hate someone does seem all wrong
You must have heard of the old saying when you lose a friend you make a foe
I first heard that as a primary schoolgoer and that's going back five decades ago
I cannot say I hate anybody though I can say I do not like every one
And I would rather not dwell on old grudges the past is past when all is said and done.
