I cannot hate

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
I cannot hate. I dont understand it.  To hate you hurt yourself. I have been treated like dirt and dispised  the hurt is long and hard. I love infinitely. I try to forgive and see truly. To hate is wish another dead to end the light  in eyes of your enemy. To hurt those eyes that look at you with innosense. I cannot hate.
