Love And Hatred Poem by Gerald Opio

What is love?
What is hatred?
Am I right when I say,
Love is the absence of love,
Or should we say it's not a cogent definition.
Well hate can also mean devoid of love.
These are the two urgent aspects of life.
Love brings about peace,
Hatred brings about discord.
Love seeks for others in form of providence
Hatred is self seeking
But is there anything that lies between hatred and love.
I guess there isn't.
You either love or hate.
Others loathe love
While others herbor hatred
This all brings us to one thing
The irony of life.
Where hatred and love play a part.
One plays a good side,
The other plays an evil side.
