Love is kind, love is good

Love is where you do not look

Hate is a self-scorned lover’s gruel

Bitter burnt and served al-cruel

Faith is fine, faith is coarse

Even when doubts scream hoarse

Fear is faith’s aggravated assault

That grows unchecked in imagined faults

Love stews, hate incites

Faith explains, fear ignites

Time still rows the oars of fate

Domino of choices disconsolate
