  • Love is a word that is constantly heard,
    Hate is a word that is not.
    Love, I am told, is more precious than gold.
    Love, I have read, is hot.
    But hate is the verb that to me is superb,
    And Love but a drug on the mart.
    Any kiddie in school can love like a fool,
    But Hating, my boy, is an Art.
