The Hate Never Ends

Sometimes I get tired of hearing the news
Sometimes the news paper is too much
Sometimes I don't even want to read Facebook

Why

Because of the hate

We've become a nation, a people, a society where hate dominates our thinking
We say if you can't say something nice, come sit by me

Our minds and our hearts have been so brainwashed to hate that we don't know any difference

Sure we love our families, most of our friends, our dogs and cats
We love our partners in life
But when it comes to others, it's easier to hate, and slander, and criticize
Instead of love

We who are human, who are Christians, who are bartenders, who are teachers and preachers
Who are farmers and disabled and reitired
Who say we love
Until we disagree, or hear some gossip, or slander or criticism
Unfounded by truth

We've forgotten what it really means to be human
Unique, loving, sharing, compassionate, understanding,

It's easier to criticize those we dislike or don't agree with because of  race, color, political party, life style, religion
And the list goes on

When will it stop
When will the hate end
Why is it easier to criticize, talk about, make fun of
Than to try to understand

When will we who say we love the Lord with all our hearts and souls and minds
Start showing love for mankind whether they are black, white, gray, democrats, republicans, Methodist, Muslims, homeless or wealthy

By our words and our actions, we show our true heart
We tell the world who we really are
If we're filled with love and compassion
Or hate and disgust

Guard your heart, guard your words, guard your tempers, guard your spirits
Don't profess to be one thing and let the world see another.
Don't say you know God's love and show Satan's hate

Just Stop

Is your hatred, your gossip, your jokes, your uniformed comments making this world a better place
No
You are just creating more hate

Why do you constantly try to search for the splinter in his eye when your so blinded by the beam in yours

You criticize a man without walking in his shoes, without knowing his heart, without carrying his load

When will it end

Stop the Hate
