LOVE, TRUTH, HATE
16 X20 PASTEL/SCRATCH PAINTING
LOVE, TRUTH, HATE
A child’s love
The truest of truth
Like pollen to flowers
Little bodies blossom
Where love blooms
Innocent and pure
Loving thy neighbor as thyself
Until they don’t
Where fertile ground
Let’s weeds grow too
Rooted deep
In generational lies
The progeny of hate
Love’s antagonistic mate
Bound together
As is night and day
In a shadowy dance
Children must navigate
Between truth’s light
And hate’s lies
Before the light
Of childhood fades
When love gives way
To adulthood’s fate
Unless remains
The child within
Who knows only love
Lives only truth
And knows no hate.
