Hatred

The fire of hatred

blazes hot inside you

all day

Isn’t it better not to hate others?

When’ll you find peace

and coolness?

Your desires are the causes of your own sufferings

**

You wish to see others dead

their buildings crumble to the ground

their children drop out of high schools

their currency collapses

But in reality, these people grow stronger

Their buildings grow taller

and more magnificent

Their children obtaining Ph Ds

with flying colors

Their currency remains stable

**

You go about daily

picking up hatred

which is invariably painful

Why don’t you just stop hating

other races?

Stop setting alight the fires

which scorch you

not the enemies

Avoid evils

and purify your mind

The universal law is

that an evil person

suffers in a way befitting evil persons

There is no escape

You swim in the sea of suffering forever

*

Don’t you agree that

all the chaos and trouble

in this world

originated from your sensuality

from your greed and hatred?

**

No good can come of thieving

It is bound to lead

to the suffering of a thief.

**

Samurai sword dancing only provoke other races

Fanning the flames and beating the drums

will lead you to nowhere

The smart guys know

racism exists in this world

These good people

have no place for malice, hate, jealousy and envy

in their mind

You’ll never be able

to becloud, defile or perturb them

no matter how grave the provocation is

They are like lotuses

which grew from the pond of feces

but are never stained by the shits

Moreover

these flowers contain sweet fragrant
