Carcass

Hate has its consequence

How could it not?

To hate is to dedicate your body’s resources to destruction

You were made to love

And yet you flee from your natural function

You deceive your humanity

When you refuse to extend compassion to your human counterparts

Hate rots you from the inside

Taking everything in its path until only a carcass remains

Don’t you feel the tug calling you back to your purpose?

It is our greatest gift to love

And yet we toss it away for foolish prejudices

How can you oppress with such ease?

Do you not fear His wrath?

This is God’s earth

And we are all His children here

Hate has its consequence

And you will bear it bitterly if that lesson goes unlearned
