Hatred
Seeks Exposure
Hatred seeks the crowded square,
A thousand eyes,
A million ears,
A restless wind
To carry its whispers
Into every waiting heart.
It paints its banners
With borrowed fears,
Builds its towers
From broken trust,
And crowns itself
King of division.
It shouts
Because truth need not.
It points
Because wisdom listens.
It burns
Because love creates.
Yet somewhere,
Far from the noise,
A child shares bread
With another child.
A stranger offers shelter.
A teacher opens a book.
A nurse holds a trembling hand.
A neighbor forgives.
No headlines announce
These quiet revolutions.
Still,
They reshape the world.
Hatred seeks exposure,
But compassion seeks expression.
Hatred demands applause,
Love asks only
For another chance.
When hatred raises its voice,
Let understanding answer.
When anger builds its walls,
Let kindness open its gates.
For darkness
Can only borrow the night,
But dawn
Arrives
Without permission.
And every sunrise
Writes across the sky—
Hatred may seek exposure,
But love
Needs only
A single heart
To begin
Lighting
The world.
