A beautiful piece written by George Wilson
Hate’s An Easy Emotion In the garden of emotions Hate is a noxious weed Needing no cultivation It grows from a mutant seed There is no need to nurture An emotion that doesn’t care One that kills other plants In a bed it will not share Hate’s an easy emotion Ignore it and it will spread Growing out of bitterness Leaving other emotions dead It has no good intentions No philosophical aims Religion and politics Are used to play it’s games It will destroy the garden And the soil that gave it birth Spreading disease and despair Leaving toxins in the earth They who are embraced by hate Cannot stand proud and tall There is no honour for one Who wants another to fall In our garden of emotions We have to pull the weeds And provide the nutrients For our emotional needs In a garden that grows love There is no room for hate It’s seeds will lie dormant They will not germinate. |
