The Hate Reward Poem by John Sensele

Hate is a jackal
That geckers when it pounces on a prey
To bite a flesh morsel
From it as an overcast Kitwe sky turns grey.

Hate is a tarantula
That hunts at night
When beneath a Flamboyant corolla
From a bat it snuffs life's light.

Hate is a rat poison
That sometimes slays a snare setter
When hate's prison
Of morbid minds it gets the better.

Hate is a life subtractor
That gradually nibbles at the fragile fabric
of a hater transmuting it into a factor
Which slays the hater on a disabled derrick.
