Replacement

REPLACEMENT

I champion a different philosophy of life

On a scale line of dramatic and emotional 
                                                            Thought
Ranging from hate to love – 
Weight dishes filled    balanced evenly –

Replacement overpowers the right extreme
The love dish clatters noisily on the table

Hate is left hanging high and dry
Replaced by love
Whose presence is monumentally ponderous

The ideology remarkably simple –
Any thought residing in the suspended hate dish
Is blessedly replaced by love.
