'Tis True Enough Hatred Poem by Francis Duggan

'Tis true enough hatred is a bad energy
One of the main causes of disharmony
Between human beings hatred does lead to war
A destructive feeling when taken too far
For hatred a reason one has to suppose
Though some have it in them to forgive their foes
And though some sins against you can be hard to forgive
Without hatred in your mind in peace you can live
The destructive nature in hatred one cannot deny
A life for a life and an eye for an eye
The need for revenge when acted on only escalate
The feelings of anger that bubbles in hate
The cause of many conflicts in the World of today
Is anger born of hatred that would seem fair to say.
