Prayer for Hatred

Would evolution have given feathers

to the reptiles had they loved

the risks on the ground?

You resent your limitations, hatred

being the best of them. A force

for undoing, unavoidable,

hatred is your beast rising up

in the face of that which stands

between you and fresh water.

Must we debate if love

is its bright twin, or if love, siametic,

could live on its own?

Has hatred not liberated

more people than those who have done

the enslaving?

Dear hatred, sweet hatred,

do you not move our enemies

to know us better?
