The Living Broken (Poetry)

Hate

Hate is a strong word.
Said the woods.

Hate is a strong word.
Whispered the thundrous clouds.

Hate is a strong word.
Muttered the wolf behind the cottage.

Hate is a strong word.
Taunted the monstrous wind.

Hate is a strong word.
Laughed the menacing monster.

Hate is a strong word.
Murmured the serial killer behind the mask.

Hate is a strong word.
But despise is stronger.
