RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: VIOLENCE
The Core of Violence
The core of violence is hatred
Hatred of self and others
It is not inherited but bred
A resentment of our brothers
How do we learn to hate?
It rises from deep inside
We are taught an intolerant state
From which we cannot hide
We learn to hate ourselves
When we’re taught to hate the other
We would rather go to hell
Than have love for one another
From this most violence springs
That hatred of the self
It spreads on hatred’s wings
It rings the vengeance bell
If we wish to curb the violence
We must learn to love ourselves
We can’t sit still in silence
While we’re captured in its spell
