Why Hate When We Can Love Poem by Christopher Tye

Why Hate When We Can Love

Why give in to your fears and hate?
If you understood the differences between us,
Love would drive out hate's illogical rage.

If we truly loved life,
We wouldn't let our hatred to descend into war,
We could build bridges between tribes and faiths.

If we let love drive out hate,
Just think of the utopia we could build,
A rainbow of united people and nations.
