The Concept of Hate

I think I hate you 
But I might be wrong
Maybe it's love
It's so hard to tell the difference

It's been so long maybe I've forgot

I've heard there's a thin line between love and hate

I didn't understand why

But now I see

When love ends

Only on one end

And hearts bleed even if no one sees

I can see what once was one thing

Turning into something completely

Different

Love into hate

Passion into pain

Desire to despite

Hatred from love I now understand

But what confuses me

Is hate for the sake of hate

Hate from fear

Hate from ignorance

That hate makes no sense

Teaching that hate makes no sense

Being hated by people who have never met you

People who probably never will

Makes no sense

Being hated by people who profess to love you

And say they only hate that which you can't change

But you haven't changed from who you where before you told them

The only thing that changed was

You told them

They preach at you

Condemn you to hell

Vote against your rights

Refuse to discuss it

Worse refuse to really listen when you do discuss it

Hating abstract notions ideas and people

Should become harder when you know

One of those notions ideas or people

It should become impossible to agree with the hate and ignorance

That churches and people spew daily hourly.

It should be

But it seems it isn't

They can no longer claim ignorance

But still they cling to the hate

Either by disowning

Or ignoring that

The things they say and do

Affect someone they know and proclaim to love

I understand love turning to hate

I will never understand hate for the sake of hate.
