Where Love Doesn't Live
Where love doesn't live, you don't need to live.
Not if you are looking for a real worthwhile life to live.
You seldom see a place like that where hate doesn't knock twice.
Hate and love can't tolerate each other. Each thinks the other isn't nice.
Whichever rules your dominion, will determine the atmosphere,
For neither can exist with the other. Hate is a promoter of fear.
Love brings caring and peace. Loving ones can not tolerate what hate promotes.
Neither can hate tolerate love. It is a major threat, which it quotes.
It seems like a paradox; hate usually can't operate with its kind
For very long because they can't deceive one of like mind.
But the fruits of their labor can blossom in deceit,
For hate uses deceit to destroy and make its "victory" complete.
