Why people hate others?

When we see some not like us,
When we do not understand someone,
When we listen to something
We do not generally speak,
When we confront a way of life,
Of some others which is not like us.
No second we waste, only to hate!


Very quick are we to generalize.
One, two and three experience,
And there goes a solid, sharp
Permanent a judgment!
Always busy are we
Defining how different we are from them!
Always there is an I and they,
The mind is busy labeling and hating!


We always know we are the one
Who is right, and they are the one who is wrong!
This is the righteousness,
We are ready to die for.
Never we think twice before
Sacrificing our peace to this
Commotion of disconnect.


With poison in heart,
We poison everything around.
People, places, things nothing to spare!
We do not even spare
That innocent land,
That vast sky and the beautiful trees!
And most we hate,
Those highest creations of God,
For whom God himself is so proud!


Beautiful both in heart and soul,
Are the people whom we paint bad,
With the black ink
Of our prejudices, and perceptions.


Do not we think even twice,
Before generalizing our wrath,
For couple of sad experiences,
We term the whole world dark!


Having formed a belief,
A prejudice and a superstition,
We live till we die,
Continuously watering our hatred,
Distorting the beauty of Life!


But yes, God does not cry!
For he does bad to himself,
Who hates others.
For nothing but is blessed
Who is hated and mocked.


Hatred is Darkness,
Deep and Thick!
Only the light of love,
Can cut it quick!


For Love is not just an emotion!
It is a torch of Blessing
Cutting through the darkness
Enabling us to see the Truth!
Being in love is like being awake!
Far away from the slumber of
Fatal perceptions.


Cut through hatred,
Clear up the fog,
For the sunny clear day awaits,
Brimming with love and joy!
It is a personal choice,
To love or to hate.
I choose the former,
Defying what appears true!
For I know there is something
More important than truth.
It is being in love,
From the depths of a caring heart,
No matter what!
