Contrasts

Love has a thousand faces
Hate has but one
Love teaches builds cherishes
Hate consumes destroys perishes.

Love seeks enlightenment
Hate thrives on greed
Love gives and gives
Hate takes and takes.

Love shares outward
What’s mine is yours
Hate looks inward
What’s yours is mine.

Love is universal
Hate is concentrated
Love brings out our best
Hate destroys all dreams.

We know both when we see them
Feel them or hear them--
We know their consequences
So why would we ever choose to hate?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Wonderful words of wisdom. It takes more energy to hate, anyway. What would the world be like if everyone were to take that hate-filled energy and use if to love instead?

Love is always better. I don't like hate.

Profound yet simple. Well done Ed. Succinct with a lot of meat. Right on!

Extraterrorestrial Beings v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
