choose haiku
hatred is a seed
it sits, perched, in your soul roots
it can break open
when it does, the small
tentacles stretch, they uncurl,
latch on like a parasite
they weave, curving like
lines on a map
take complete control
your soul is hatred,
you act not of your own will,
but of that of hate
love is a seed, much
the same, to the eye, as the
seed of hate. it, too
may be broken, if
you allow. it perches near
its small neighbor, hate
when it is opened,
its soft, gentle, feathery
fingers spread, warm
the cold, empty holes
in your cold, lonely soul. it
brings light to darkness
your soul will be love
love will be your path, transform
your being. choose love.
