Love and Hate
I tend to ponder Love and Hate
And how to each I do relate
For acts of hate have vision clear
And acts of love often fear
But with anger comes debate
As with controversy lust does equate
While pain is spread by such indifference
And from passion in abundant instance
Not hard to see that tolerance lacks
While a necessity in forgiving acts
And so it has come to decide my mate
With no weakness found in hate
But with love strength unseen
For within ones heart it tends to glean
So in my mind these words collide
Urging me to choose a side
So with judgment my thoughts do race
Pulled towards love, its redeeming grace
But with darkness hate does team
And with light love does gleam
Form a circle these two great beings
And give more depth to all feelings
So to choose would be unfair
Depriving life of half its flare
For in us all, both do reside
Shifting thoughts and shaping pride
