Natural Love and Synthetic Hatred
Recycle love and
It multiplies joyfully
With healing powers.
Recycle hatred
And it wounds with much venom.
About this poem
Both love and hatred are forms of environmental energy. The one heals, and the other poisons. Love, when recycled, is a natural fossil that encourages flourishing growth. Hatred, when recycled, is a synthetic fuel that poisons the environment and stifles all forms of life.
