"HUGS NO HATE"
"A HUG FROM YESTERDAY FOR TOMORROW"
This is to inform humanity that I do not write 'just about myself'. I use I because I wrote it. My writings, songs, art, & music are all about you, everyone, they, theirs, them, them, her, him, he, & me. I have authored many stories since I began publishing again in 2023. I chose a lot of my teenage poems to publish in the beggining. I have spontaneously authored other stories, poems, song lyrics, videos, & my own short piano tunes. The stories, & 'all that jazz,' are written about humanity. I know there are a few people who think It's all about me, but 'no way' it's all about. We all live, love, hate, sleep, eat, & go about our chores, our work, our studies everyday on life's highway.

HUGS NOT HATE
We are here today
Gone tomorrow
We lay in our bed
Today
Tomorrow
I loved a lot
I cried tears of joy & pain
Only to borrow from yesterday
To remain the same
The same person
The Same lady
The same to gain
Another hug
From people so smug
I look at life
I stare
In the air
Upon the wondrous universe
Of your time
My time
Their time
I am me
You are you
Shall we not be blue
But relish in speedy hugs
To envelope us as a species
As all humans as we step out to shout
We are one human being species.
To live, to love
Not hate
But wait, digression to lies
And truth
So aloof
I spread the love, the light
To spook

The haters of life
To wipe
Them away
Throw away hate
To the trash
To bash the hate
To embrace the hug
The kiss
All the warmth of light to
Be written on the list
To spread far & wide
I wish
Light
To spread so bright
Upon the land.
We are here today
Gone tomorrow
We lay in our bed
Today
Tomorrow
I loved a lot
I cried tears of joy & pain
Only to borrow from yesterday
To remain the same
The same person
The Same lady
The same to gain
Another hug

A beautiful deep meaning to this poem, hugs are important, what they represent is truly the magic
This is lovely. A 20-second hug means our bodies flood with dopamine, the healthy kind, not the binge-watching Netflix kind. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Such a sweet poem
Hugs Not Hate… great poem, Vicki. You have a lot to say here!
Your words remind me of galoshes and raincoats, afghans, and fresh apple pie. They’re so warm and familiar yet fresh and enchanting. Thank you for this. I shared…. —S.S.
