Aufie Zophy (18 October 1964)
Y.... Simple reflection
I passed by a group of three girls
While I was walking all alone
The most beautiful one had curls
And was busy talking on the phone
As I passed them, I could hear
The girl on the phone say, I hate it
She said it really loud and clear
I heard it even though I was not concentrated
As I went and continued my walking
I still reflected and I thought
About what the girl was talking
And what my ears had caught
Oh, Handsome men and beautiful girls,
Or anyone else living in this amazing world,
Do not let your mind be contaminated
By words and thoughts of hatred.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Robert Frost

it is commonplace to use that word now a days. most people use it without thinking twice or what it really entails. great piece.
Aufie Zophie, Don't worry too much. she must have told that she hated BN/PR. a nice poem to read. Good.
Hate is an unpleasant word, but is often used without thinking and is not really meant, but of course I agree that to hate is very negative. Good write.
Hate is such a powerful word, and it is used so loosely. I try to avoid it! Nothing good comes from hate. Good poem!
Perhaps she was the most beautiful girl with
the ugliest mind. People who speak to the world
while on the cell phone only speak with half dialogue.
Noone is interested. Keep your private life, private!
Good poem about daily life!
In a short we should not also to easy interpret it..maybe her friends talking about a small thing like color of clothes or shoes and she's like i hate it...LOL, we dont know...but you are right we are should never live in hatred...to hate or being hated, this thing are related...we are hated because we are hating, we hating because we hated something...otherwise, change it to love and respect! _Unwritten Soul
