Poison And Hate Poem by Anushna Satapathy

Poison is deadly,
But what does it do?
The answer is obvious,
It kills the person its given to.

Hate is called poison
But what does it mean?
For poison sickens and kills,
But the effects of hate cannot even be seen.

But oh! Hate is indeed poison,
As it sickens and plagues the mind.
And of a person who nurtures hate,
If his spirit be seen,
It would not be white
But black, with all the hate and negativity,
Which is darkening its light.
