Hate was taught
from her to me, from me to you, from you to him
and from him to whoever befriends his enemies
hate is like a drug, but a lesson
just like how one learnt to love somebody
by someone’s actions, it was also taught
but unlike a 30 minute lesson in class
one was not told to sit and learn
it was learnt, just like how a toddler learns.
They say a child does what he sees, not what he’s being told
so one was not told to sit and learn but saw and learnt
though we might’ve realised it or not, it is within us
hate is a toxicant
It blinds you to not the see the light in somebody
be careful.
