the storm of hatred

under the storm of hatred
with the thunder of anger
and lightning of destruction
we all stand

we, the world, people born into hate
children, tought to hate
children, taught to fight
we the world, people of sin

in the storm of hatred evil things are born
war, the destroyer of life
prejudice, the destroyer of pride
abuse, the destroyer of families

sins of hatred, a term of no meaning
for all sins are born in hate
hatred, the fuel that feeds the flames of hell
hatred, the staple of our people
hatred, we, the world, have become hatred

under this storm of hate i knew i could not live
i knew cover was needed so i huriedly searched
i tried to use money, 
but it grew soggy and leaked
i hid behind romance,
but was used once again

finaly though, i found it
the shelter that protects
the shelter that holds
i found it, the protection of love
it holds back the rains of hate
let's hide... 
let's hide behind the cover of love

Author's Note

I actually wrote this one for a dramatic arts assignment, had to perform it for my matric final mark

It's beautiful, the only thing worth seeing in this world is love. Love for oneself and then after that love for all man. Empathy is what makes us human

I loved it :)
And I don't like many poems.
