Love and hate

Why do we hate when we can love
why does hatred often wins the war?
when we look at others why do we forget
its just fine to have nothing in common
with other fellow human beings or
its alright to be weak, feeble or at fault?
These don’t create a reason to hate!

So many times we let hatred
win over love, compassion,
when we might have won
we defeat ourselves.
We forget Jesus prayed
to his father to forgive those
who hated him, tortured him
in return of his love, affection.

We, his children fail to love those
who have not caused us any wound.
We forget that loving and forgiving
is normal.. hating is not right or fair.
We act against the human nature,
and betray the love of the creator.
We forget that at the end it will be
ashes to ashes and ground to ground.

So in this short stay in this earthly abode
before leaving for heaven, we should live!
We ignore and forget to light
the lamp of love and keep it burning.

Light that will remind others of our
love and affection when we are gone.
We forget that it needs fire of love
not darkness of hatred to keep earth turning.

Every time we give in to hatred,
to contempt, to anger
without provocation,
without being harmed by any one
we walk a step away from
God the nurturer and move a step
toward the destroyer the evil one.

We cant change the entire world
or go on preaching every one,
but we can look inside our souls
and try to destroy hatred.

Try to love as long as we can
trust until we are betrayed,
Turn our back to the darkness
take a step toward the sun.
