HATRED
 
  Hatred has plagued man since we wore skins of fur
Beating our enemies with stick and stone.
History has proven what we refuse to learn
As the seeds of hate by conflict are sown.

It's a fact, hate has been caused by religion,
Or by those of different pigment of skin.
It's also a fact it's mostly jealousy
Mixed with the stupidity of men.

If hatred consumes you refuse it control,
For only then can you begin to live.
We don't have to remain wicked and spiteful,
We just have to be willing to forgive.
