Where Hate Comes From
Rejection of a child
Blackens his world with hate.
He never grows up mild,
But with anger his heart pulsates.
He always sees the wrong
Or the ugliness of his life,
Confused as to where he belongs
He wallows in fear and strife.
Rejection keeps him hating,
Imprisons him in venom.
It devours his every thinking
And strikes everyone who will come.
There is no cure for this toxin-
It's a poison that creates the monster
It erupts from the hate within,
And destroys the Source thereafter.
