To Love ... To Hate

To love is to be warm
To hate is to be cold
If I have love I have God
If I have hate then I am dead

To love is knowledge
To hate is ignorance
If I love I understand
If I hate I am a fool

To love is to feel
To hate is to be numb
If I love I have a heart
If I hate I am a stone

To love me or hate me
That is your choice
I choose to love
Because that is my choice

    hey Robin

    i liked the lay-out and the simplicity, however as for the content i think its too black and white, the good guys wear the white hats and bad guys wear black hats. people love and hate, like a love/hate relatshonship, more like a shade of gray.

    To Love or To Hate...

    this poem? I don't have a choice! I love it! The messag you convey is excellent. I really like all the ways you describe the defferences between being filled with or giving love and verses being filled with hate. I the ending because it is our choice. Great Poem!
