Never Too Late
Never too late to tolerate
With kindness put up with
Those you hate
Dull your thought
Blind hate, rational hate
Hate – hate!
Your feelings overwrought
Each of us destined to our fate
No choice
Can we learn to live and tolerate
Or leave this world with this gruesome feeling?
Can we fend off the feelings of the enemy’s hate,
Before it is too late
Lest you, I, too become infected, so destructive
Like our adversary
Like a cancer, hate eats goods of humanity
I try to forgive, I try to forget.
Yet, the disease is infested, tirelessly reoccurs.
Live life,
Partake with friends
Pursue your dream of satisfaction
Good food, lots of love and action
Squash the hatred, push it on the garbage heap
Celebrate!
It’s not easy. But then what is?
A great challenge!
