Hatred can never be
A fruit of the Spirit
Though from within
It cometh forth
Hatred comes not
With intentions pure
But motives destructive
Desiring one thing
To stop the way of
Peace and progress
A hater’s motive is
One of active ill-will
Full of treachery
A manifestation of
All that’s evil inspired
Surrender not to hatred
Attack hate if you will
Not with hate but with love
And be careful not to
Return any evil with evil
For the love of evil
Is the driving force
That inspires jealousy
Underestimate not a hater
Boldly walk away
From hatred and a hater
And may you not be deceived
By a hater’s professing
Change of heart; never!
It’s like the chameleon
Never to be taken as is
Evil is forever evil
Remember this one truth
“Evil does not die, it waits to be reborn.”
