Have you grown,
are you still out
picking the bone,
With a mind tuned 
to hate offense,
instead of love defense?
Reaching out
in love offensively,
lessens the boomerang
defensively.

An eye for an eye,
a saying I don't defy.
Mess with my vision,
I might be on
a revenge mission.
A tooth for a tooth,
this also holds
quite a bit of truth.
I need my teeth to chew,
so I might come
after you.

With many reasons
to go to war,
it's best to keep
one's self afar.
Walking in love,
guided by
the Father above,
or good common
sense below,
can keep one from
a violent flow.

The more we love
and understand,
the less we have to fulfill 
the hate demand.
Reaching out in hate,
letting evil rule fate,
makes for a devil date.
Devil dates bring on more
misery and strife,
takes away from one's
comforts in life.

I'll go on the war path,
but not before I toss
the peace wreath.
It's not all for another,
moreso for the
love of me after.
I could trip up,
while my mind
is hate corrupt.
End up hurting me,
trying to revenge
in agony.

We protect
ourselve better,
when we're not
hates babysitter.
It's best to only fight,
when we have
no other choice in sight.
War is in the Holy pages,
not hate in
foolish
rages.
