Love Trumps Hate Poem by Barry Middleton

Love Trumps Hate

Rating: 5.0


we must turn from hatred
for like the sun it blinds

to look away from evil
is not to deny that it exists

these things haunt the soul
we can never forget

yet they can consume us
fire warms but also burns

hatred creates hatred
violence creates vengeance

hatred is a prowling beast
it wants to make you hate

only love trumps hate
only peace can find peace

A very positive write. Full of optimism. Filled with lessons that world needs. Good thing is that you don't teach it in a didactic style but in a very subtle way. So the reader is sure to get something out of it.10
