Hatred

My eyes decieve me as i look in the mirror
For the glass is fogged and is no longer clearer
I see a face, distorted, filled with hate
Of this world I live in, is this my fate
I use to smile more, use to be able to love
Use to believe in miracles and of angels above
Use to be awed by the sight of people kissing
Now it just reminds me of what i am missing
Not that I'm jealous, I haven't a jealous streak in my bone
It's the thought of knowing, that I may forever be alone
And as I look at myself, the hate continues to grow
I shall tell you of my hate, for you should know
I hate the politicians who control people with their lies
I hate so-called christians who hide behind sinful eyes
And what about the pastors who pray with the bible in their hands
But when it's night time put on their hood for the klu klux klan
I see so much hatred and racism, so much I can't take it
But still I manage to smile, I've practiced enough to fake it
And people wonder why I'm down, they same I'm not the same
After years of personal torture, that person no longer remains
Do I have love in my heart, yes, but not like before
It has narrowed down to those who deserve it and the one I'm meant for
Many people will hate my thoughts and be taken back by my views
But tell me, how will you feel, when the world has forsaken you?

did the world forsake us, or us, it? your words have me leaning to the latter. either way, nice work. we reflect what we must to survive.

Great reflections on self awareness, some things we can change others not, so I put a smiley face on my mirror now, I cant right the wrongs of the world, but try to do my bit on the speck I stand on. Loved this poemhandshake

Nobody is deserving of hate which eats at the feeler, just my view.
