My life as a soccer ball

 

My life as a soccer ball

I get kicked and beat

By peoples’ feet

I get plastered with mud

I am always moving during the game

I soar through the air

I am passed from one person

To the next

Some times I even get booted into the air

Flying fast

Soaring through the goalies hands

I

            Dive

                        Into

                                    The

                                                Net

Hatred

 

Hatred

Hatred is a deep black

It smells like burning sulfur

It tastes like bitter disgusting vinegar

It feels like grainy black sand in your mouth

It sounds like the cries of people suffering

Hatred is like being all-alone in a dark evil place and not being able to escape.
