If you are Love why is there so much Hate?

Free will alone cannot account for this.

I may have my moments but my state

Of mind is generally not averse

To all mankind, and I would rather seek

The loving and the kind, with compromises -

Emulate the blessed who are meek -

Than risk the isolation that despises.

Yet day by day the world seethes with the bile

Of desolation, creeds whose single aim

Is blocking any isolation while

Claiming to be acting in your name.

          I am confused; if Love were really all

          Why do so many fail to hear your call?
