Why Hate? Poem by Prateeti Sengupta

It's official.

The debtor and creditor,
The payer and payee,
The giver and receiver,
The donor and donee,

The lover and beloved,
The jailer and the jailed,
The leader and the flock,
The ruler and the ruled,

The eater and the meat,
The Prince and the pauper,
The strong and the sweet,
The salesman and shopper,

The lion and the lamb,
The killer and the killed,
The hater and the hated,
Will be sooner or later, all
Dead.

So, why hate?
