Analysis of What We Hate
We must use the word hate for the extreme feeling state
aroused when some subjugate
the innocent to harm
We must eliminate child abuse from any slate
adults could perpetrate
on these defenseless ones
We must be the advocate for animals who can't summate
conditions which violate
humane treatment and care
We must domesticate, help couples communicate
prevent spousal altercate
make harmony at home
We must eradicate rogue nations that dominate
to exploit and strangulate
free people from living
We must repudiate and then incapacitate
behaviors that deprecate
or cause anyone harm
