Choose To Love Or Choose To Hate Poem by Terence George Craddock

we are all born with choices
we shall all make many decisions in life
we shall all choose to love or to hate

we are all born with many life changing choices
we shall all deliberately choose to love or to hate
we shall choose to comfort love the sick the weak

we shall choose to feed the hungry the homeless the poor
we shall choose to love to believe in people to raise people up
we shall choose to love regardless of colour race religion

or we shall choose to bully to persecute to torture to kill

God is clothed in glorious pure light
God is all colours as light is all colours
God's creation children humanity

are all created in the image of God so honour all creation

I see little or no difference in the Christian who hates
I see little or no difference in the Muslim who hates
I see little or no difference in the Hindi who hates

I see little or no difference in the Atheist who hates
those who hate persecute kill all belong to the same religion
those who love comfort gift kindness all belong to the same religion

so choose your God your religion to love or to hate
do not be mistaken all belief is a religion atheism is a religion
true believers sow peace love evil sows hate division wars

our chosen religion has defined us
divides us into those that hate those that love
will you choose to hate or to love?
