Why Would I Hate? - Visitor's Poem

by Author Unknown

All of us know some people
Of whom we just really can’t stand
Those loathsome, mean people
Who just do not understand

Their words bite like sharks,
And sound like nails on a chalkboard
Their actions so dark,
As the bottom of the abyss.

They snatch the good out of your day,
When there’s a smile spread across on your face,
And when you’re already upset, they make it all worse.
But there’s something deep down, something good, for a first.

Everyone has the righteous, good trait.
There’s better behind the mean, nasty hate.
Just wait for it, it’ll occur.
The good will come out in him or her.

I do know some people
Of whom I really, truly dislike
But there is something in each of them, something I like.
Funny, sporty, smart, tireless, or maybe all of the above.
So just why would I hate, when there is something I love?
