What has hate Consumed

To have an ugly soul

Has hate consumed your heart

Do you wish darkness on your foes

Do you only play a captive part

In a life of constant woes

Is the only thing on your mind

To destroy another being

What kind of joy do you find

In the pain you are bringing

Where is the awe of being alive

Do you see beauty in the rose

On just spite How can one survive

If ugliness is all your soul knows

If people are made in Gods image

Than is it a sin when you kill

the blaspheme is a scrimmage

When another’s blood you spill

As you dwell At your life’s end

When your become an old one

Is your legacy one that’s grim

Because of all the sins that you done

Let the starlight of a million suns

Fall into your eye

Enlightenment never comes

To those who make another cry
