Hatred Is a Weapon

Hatred is a weapon,
A weapon in and of itself.
Hatred is a knife blade,
A bullet from a gun.
And those who would employ it
Keep it ready on the shelf.

They take it down most often—
As often as they can.
They polish it,
They practice it,
And it makes each of them a madman.

Hatred is the weapon.
Hatred is what kills.
It poisons,
It destroys,
It gives us the chills.
