I Hate

I hate politics
Divides us all
Its dirty tricks
Used by fools
Breeding distrust
And hate itself
Power of lust
Of power from hell

I hate lies
Destroys us all
At this I sigh
Told by fools
Some use for power
Others just do
At these I glower
Please tell the truth

I hate injustice
It angers us all
The guilty walk free
Whilst the innocent fall
Lives destroyed
By our leaders high
Used like toys
For them I cry

I hate rudeness
No need for it at all
Its impolite address
Really isn’t cool
It’s nasty remarks
And bad demeanour
With me won’t last
Leaves me sour

I hate religion
Dividing us all
Humanity missing
Sectarianism I hate most
It’s all the same
Everywhere you go
We’re all to blame
We just don’t truly know

I hate hate itself
It drains us all
Makes us too weak to tell
Right from wrong and rules
Much energy wasted
In a hateful way
Lose what you invested
In much better days

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life. I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones. Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible. My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love. I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
