The Wheel of Hatred

Losing your grip
On reality
You fall victim to unkindness
Turning from goodness
To hatred
You speak the unkind word
Do the unkind deed
That you can never undo
And the wheel of hatred
Rolls on
Ruining someone's day
Ruining someone's life
Hating because you do not agree with what they say
Or think
Hating because they look different
Speak differently
Believe in a different God
And the wheel of hatred rolls on
Ruining lives
Playing a game
Where the loser might die
But the "winner" loses their soul
Their humanity
Hatred will consume your spirit
And leave an empty shell
When the wheel of hatred
Rolls your way
Put your foot down
Stop it in its tracks
And make a decision
To be truly human
