Love and Hate
Serious words
They have deep meanings
But we use them in ways that show
We don't fully understand
We speak them over everything
Making their implication as shallow as the accusation
So maybe the true mission was accomplished
To make each...somehow less
But hate does not diminish for lack of understanding
Instead it's power grows
Love on the other hand
is watered down for lack of understanding
Love was created to cover sins
it was meant to unite
Hatred to divide
Love used to be all encompassing,
because it came with a price, but was priceless
You couldn't buy it, you couldn't pay for it,
Sacrifice was the only acceptable currency
But now, love is as thin as its shallow application
It is as meaningful as the food, and tv shows, and temporary fixes that we wrap in it;
You can't cover anything with it
That's why the world is so cold
