Hatred Comments

Superb poem! So well written and expressed that even the practicing devils of evil can understand, its pernicious, effect, ! Very, very long reaching and great! ! !

A thoughtful write, well articulated and nicely executed.

Timeless as its subject matter.

Justice also works well at the outset until hate gets its own momentum going. Hatred. Hatred. Its face twisted in a grimace of ecstasy… Its face twisted in a grimace..... hatred. true expression of hatred. tony

A very thoughtful poem

Hatred. Hatred. Its face twisted in a grimace of ecstasy…/// greatly penned on hatred

t has a sniper's keen sight and gazes unflinchingly at the future

It's always ready for new challenges. If it has to wait awhile, it will.......nice perception. Beautiful poem chosen as the modern poem of the poem of the day. Congratulations to the family of Wislawa Szymborska.

Having survived both Communist rule and Hitler’s 12-year reign of terror, it seems that Wislawa Szymorska is able to draw fully on extremely harrowing experiences to create this poetic masterpiece about hatred..

fitting this date. And good to hear 'leitmotif' after all this time. 'Leit-' as in 'Light'.

Hatred is a master of contrast- between explosions and dead quiet, red blood and white snow. May God have mercy on the souls of those who died in bomb blasts in Sri Lanka.

great thought - Justice also works well at the outset until hate gets its own momentum going..../// love it

Perhaps hatred comes from true witness of murder, of violation of a child, true knowledge of pure trespass a friend committed on another; perhaps hatred has a moral core, and this is what makes it so consuming and intoxicating and contagious, because not everybody knows it's true core, but anybody can be swept away by its power.

When it sleeps, it's never eternal rest. And sleeplessness won't sap its strength; it feeds it..The nature of hatred as defined is so dangerous.With a sniper's sight it watches for a new challenge

The personification of an emotion which so easily can get out of hand and be so destructive. This poem conveys all that. 'It gives birth itself to the reasons'

Hatred tracks us down! ! Hatred destroys the World. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

congrats for POD dear poetess Wislawa

hatred poisons the heart and thinking.......... tony

our century's hatred. How easily it vaults the tallest obstacles. How rapidly it pounces, tracks us down.... //.... A very powerful poem. The mechanism of hatred captured with all its diabolic working. But what's the remedy? Thanks & Congrats, Wislawa Szymborska.

A wonderful write of a thing that destroys not only the victim but also the antagonist.
