One Flew Over.


Bad Egg.

I don't want to hate you
it would be too easy
and if it wasn't you
it would be someone else

There is always someone
a Cuckoo of hatred
laying it's egg
in someone else's heart

Hatching and thriving
demanding and greedy
evicting nobler emotions
from their birthplace

I don't want to hate you
it would be too easy
and that is why
it's so difficult not to.

  1. If you really don't want to, don't.
    Otherwise it is too sad.
    Hatred is such a futile emotion, a destructive waste of time and effort.

  2. Thank you Friko,
    I doubt if there will be anyone who has not hated someone at sometime.
    The choice is do we nurture the hatered or see it for the personally destructive force that it is and wrest our more positive emotions from it's jaws.
