Love and Hate

Hate is not clearly demarcated from love. We are not capable of hating what we're indifferent to. Great love can turn to hate if not reciprocated/betrayed/misused or abused.
Hate is a strong primal passion a driving force that can propel us to great heights. It's well said that the best revenge is living well.
But once that has been achieved and the purpose served often hate finds it has become insufficient/redundant/futile.
Love and happiness can and must, then become life's objective. Or the person loses bearing, meaning and essence of humanity.
In that sense love is greater than hate.
It's the way of Life and precondition to it, but hate is not always destructive. It's a instinct in its purest form.

Simple Fool unedited longer version

I am not religious
I am not deep
I am so simple
In one adage
I believe.

As I sow so shall I reap
I must look before I leap
The world can be
A beautiful place
If we strive to embrace
Peace and grace

Love and light
Winning all the wars
The best of us
Ascending
To connect redeem and
Heal our scars

Kindness above all
To thine self be true
And do unto others
As you would like them
To do unto you

I know this mish-mash
Is a cut copy paste
But in cultural
Echo chambers
Of insanity
Perhaps a reconnaissance
And return to roots
Is what would
Serve us best.

I am a fool for love
A simple tool
Not the brightest in the shed
And quite often
An obstinate mule.

But I bathe in the sun's heat
Frolic in the cool winds
The rain sprays my soul
Holiest of oil
And in such  radiant joy 
Am I
Baptised anew.

I know this mish-mash
