Love: The Antidote to Hate
Hate is a pandemic: a virus, insidious, unkind,
Spreading like wildfire, infecting the mind,
Venom: tainting the soul, blinding the sight,
With relentless might, destroying heart’s light.
It knows no bounds, no race, or no creed,
It preys on the vulnerable, making them bleed,
It seeps into cracks and crevices with ease,
Leaving a trail of misery and disease
There is a cure, for sure, to be found,
It starts with kindness, spreading around,
Love is the antidote, the vaccine that we need,
To heal the wounds and our spirits freed.
let’s come together, join hand in hand,
And spread love liberally throughout the land,
By standing firm and united as one,
We can conquer this virus, and make hate undone.
