Hate, Love, And I Poem by Olin Yeats

Hate, Love, And I

Rating: 4.8


Hate by my side,
Wagging his tail
And wanting to be worshiped.

Love by my side,
Walking with stealth
And wanting to be given.

Hate runs in front,
And points which way
Biting and clawing to have his will.

Love by my side,
Walking still so quietly
And wanting to be given.

We come to a traveler
-Hate, Love, and I-
Who is burdened and hurt.

Hate runs on
Love stands by his side
And I am-in the middle-trying to make my choice.

We have both love and hate inside all of us. Sometimes its a matter of accepting that they DO have to walk side by side. Very well-written poem, Olin. Love, Fran xx

Olin, nice visual display of every man's internal struggle between right and wrong, love and hate and not knowing which way it will play out. Well done!
