LOVE, HATRED AND UNDERSTANDING

LOVE, HATRED AND UNDERSTANDING



What type of a man is he,
Whom silence a maid serves?
If he can’t understand her,
This he truly deserves.

He wonders why lady love
Is totally silent.
If he improves his own ways,
She would sure be vibrant.

One is prone to overlook
One’s own moat in the eye,
But one has a tendency
To others’ mistakes spy.

Who shall educate the one
Who says he is learned?
Ways of love are different
From the ways of hatred.

We must learn to love others
And understand their views.
Castigating others is
No way to make a truce.
