Hate Poems
Custer
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
BOOK FIRST.
I.
ALL valor died not on the plains of Troy.
Awake, my Muse, awake! be thine the joy
To sing of deeds as dauntless and as brave
As e'er lent luster to a warrior's grave.
Sing of that noble soldier, nobler man,
Dear to the heart of each American.

If
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;

Where Is It Clean
by Evie Shockley
when your mother can rise from her place
on the pew during the early service,
early enough that the sun barely fills the sky
with its weak straw, but row after row
in the auditorium is flush with folks who want
to be home before the football game gets underway
or hate the slower pace the later service takes

Mulga Bill's Bicycle
by Banjo Paterson
'Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that caught the cycling craze;
He turned away the good old horse that served him many days;
He dressed himself in cycling clothes, resplendent to be seen;
He hurried off to town and bought a shining new machine;
And as he wheeled it through the door, with air of lordly pride,
The grinning shop assistant said, "Excuse me, can you ride?"
"See here, young man," said Mulga Bill, "from Walgett to the sea,
From Conroy's Gap to Castlereagh, there's none can ride like me.
I'm good all round at everything, as everybody knows,
Although I'm not the one to talk - I hate a man that blows.

A Curse For A Nation
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I heard an angel speak last night,
And he said 'Write!
Write a Nation's curse for me,
And send it over the Western Sea.'
I faltered, taking up the word:
'Not so, my lord!
If curses must be, choose another
To send thy curse against my brother.

Untold Numbers
by Joe Cyr
Untold numbers of trusting innocents died that 9/11 day;
untold others scarred for life by the ghastly news display.
We mourn useless loss of life by a nation that strives to be
all things to all people, sharing its endowed liberty.
The hostile youth who committed this criminal atrocity
in religion's name against a perceived abject society
were victims, too, of leaders
warping young minds of compatriots
with promises of maiden'd paradise to "useful idiots."

by Yunnie R.
my one embarrassment; i hate you.
i hate the way even the thought of you made my heart stutter,
the way you made me think life is better as two.
how the thought of that made me misstep, blushing at my blunder.
i hate you wholeheartedly,
even though it hurts a bit to say,
regardless if it was because of something said belatedly,
and that i was the one who had to pay.

My love for thee
by matthew ramsey
Agonizing is thee
(as Agonizing is thee without)
Pain in Pain out, Pain all around
(Pain within, lacking without)
Hatred of thee Hatred of me
(Of all the loathing of each other
Greater the loathing of self)
Like the Thorns of a rose is our Love

Relationships
by Saleh Ben Saleh
When Letting people,
into your life,
you share your dreams,
and live your lives.
But if you’re brave,
to walk the mile,
you’ve reached success,
and passed the trial.
