Why do we hate?
To make us look strong?
When we weren't even weak to begin with
Why do we hate?
To give us more power?
Do we get power when we stand alone?
Why do we hate?
Is it out of revenge?
Since when was darkness able to get rid of darkness
Why do we help?
Is it to be a light?
How many lights would it take to light up the world?

I really like the questions in this poem. It causes you to think about the poem in a deeper way. I also like how you repeat a few key words multiple times
ReplyDeleteThis really gets down to the reason behind hate and makes you think. Love the last line..very powerful
ReplyDeleteThe repitition of the questions adds a really powerful affect. This poem makes the reader think!
ReplyDeletegreat job it feally made me think and the repitition of the question adds to the meaning and depth of the poem
ReplyDeleteWow Danielle! I also like the questions and motif. My favorite line is "since when was darkness able to get rid of darkness." Though the rhythm is a bit off on that line, the message is fantastic. The contrast between light and darkness is a rich archetype. I would put a question mark after the last line in the third stanza and change the last line of the first stanza to be a question.
ReplyDeleteThe repitition in this poem makes it very meaningful. Also the last three lines are inspiring.
