Hate

Hate is cruel and bad,
Hate is mean and sad,
Hate can wrap around us
And squeeze us when were mad.

Hate sometimes takes over
And then a war begins.
One thing about war
Is that no one really wins.

The hate goes on and on
Even after wars end.
So remember, even if you win the war,
Hate.....is NOT your friend.
