“Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.”
George Bernard Shaw


Poem Artwork


There is no room
In my life
For hate,
My own
Or anyone else's.
I acknowledge
My strong feelings
And give them voice,
But I refuse
To allow them
To fester and
Blacken my soul
With insidious poison.
Instead
I use them
To propel myself
Toward positivity,
To widen my mind,
To encourage light
By finding ways
To improve the world,
To nurture hope
And good will,
Rather than to
Surrender
To the vile
Narrow-minded ideologies
Of others who
Have nothing to offer
But the evilness
Of their hate.

c. 2025

 Reviews of "No Room for Hate"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on March 8, 2025
I'm with you on this one, I hate to say. And I've often said, "I hate it when that happens."

But seriously, hatred has no place in my heart. I may not understand why people act or are the way they are, but I find myself embracing their differences rather than hating them for their differences. Bullying people is so cowardly and worthless. Calling them vile names is hard on self-esteem.

The world would be a much better place without hatred.
