Hate, But........ Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Hate, But........

Rating: 5.0


You say, you.....
Hate when your compound is trashed with leaves
Nearby trees dropped, insisting daily brushing up
Envision a world with trees, short or tall
Snubbing leaf-fall as a means of renewal!
Hate to note trees you love most,
Loosing greenery to myriads of hues
Imagine a world of fauna never changes its green
And enjoying fall-colors, never, will happen!
Hate when your garden crop, keenly raised
So dear and near to heart, is brutally pecked
Envision a world with birds of whichever plumage
And bills of any form, inept pecking up anything!
Hate the tributary nearby, for, it swamps your garden
After collecting overflow from neighborhood above
Dream a world with streams brooks rivers and the rest
That wouldn’t be fed by surroundings, un to themselves
Hate when your lawn gets scorched and charred
Having yielded in the milieu, to drought prolonged
Imagine your environment being non-subjective of
Evaporation, drying and prying by elements, thereof!
Hate to hear wretched cries of animals, some
While you amuse and entertain merely a few
Imagine all creatures as created by nature
Make reverberations, only sweet and gorgeous!
Hate, some smells indicative of putrefying
Like it or not, some where, some times
Envisage a world where every being is immortal
Sans decaying, rotting and degeneration!
Hate it when you get the agonizing headache
Causing annoyance to you as well as others
Visualize a situation, totally free of head aches
As signals and alarms to come, of courses worse!
Hate scary dark nights of temperaments doomed
Simply for, you’re compelled to surmount very same
Imagine a world with day light all the time
With no nights what so ever, even for a dime!
Hate to deal with things of abnormal forms
With crooked, curled and twisted charms
Envision a world, with all encountering
Are of perfect geometrical design!
Hate everybody, not fall in line with you
For they make your life repulsive and rueful
Visualize a winning scenario, merely for your liking
Others are marionettes, you only rule and govern!
Should these happen, for any raison d'être
Imagine what a world it would be, comrade!
