Hate, be not proud 

Your loud madness shout down

Love waits just below and you can only kill 

Hate, kill yourself and let love the space fill

One humanity can't become two and hate itself

Through a human sky flies not a hawk, just a dove 

No hater flies among us

The shared heart knows no below, but only an above
