Archive of poems by Anne KellyHatredHatred is more toxic than chemotherapy. Chemotherapy, as we know it now, fails to discriminate and the side effects can be terrible. Hatred is necessary when someone we love hurts us very badly. We hate back for protection. But hatred fails to discriminate, it attacks the good in the other, demonizing and destroying the potential for love. We destroy our enemies by loving them according to Abraham Lincoln and Saul Bellow has stated that more people die of heartbreak than radiation. We are vulnerable to extreme hatred expressed extremely but we are just as vulnerable to hatred felt but not expressed. We may hate sometimes but with discrimination, knowing that hatred is more toxic than chemotherapy. by Anne Kelly Archive index | Next poem » |
