No Time For Hate

When hatred has no place

I have something to announce. Let me say it loud and clear.

Hatred is obsolete and it has no place around here.

I’m not interested in giving the devil a laugh.

No more following the wrong path succumbing to wrath.

Do what you have to do. Be nice or be kind.

You’re meant to be benign. Leave the loathing behind.

Very tempting it is. Don’t fall for its seduction.

Nothing good ever came from hatred. Only destruction.

This announcement is very clear and direct much respect.

No animosity allowed. No more abhorrent effects.

There’s only one way to truly make this land great.

Rid your mind, body, heart, soul and spirit of hate.
