In Honor of Radio Raheem - An Chéadaoin

Better than a Boat
Let’s start a Love Train,
people all over the world!
Let’s wash our hands first!
~J~

Red, White, Black, Brown or Green (or Why do people assume their ignorance is shared?)
Don’t assume I hate.
Racist comments have no place
In my inbox. (f**k!)
~S~

How Heavy a Haiku? (Lovely...)
Mostly just for fun,
But sometimes my poetry
Becomes a soapbox.
~S~

Bring the Heavy
All weights are welcome.
I’d love for this to become
truly expressive.
~J~

Method to my Madness
Part of the reason
I chose the “Love/Hate” topic
was to help do that
~J~

The Root of Ignorant Hate
Where does it come from?
Poor self-esteem is my guess,
Haters: Try Yoga!
~S~

the bridge between hate and love
On a lighter note,
I present the following
Three lines of haiku:

More Milkshake (The Lowbrow)
Just which body part,
Brings all the boys to the yard?
I’d sure love to know!
~S~

Natural High
There exists nowhere
a more powerful tonic
than a lover’s smile.
~J~

Grammar by Blige
Conjugation was
redefined when Mary J.
coined “hateration”
~J~

Isosceles
Looking up, he saw
his true love through the window,
in her true love’s arms
~J~

Love and Hate Personified

Radio Raheem
wore his heart not on his sleeve,
but on his knuckles.
~J~

AAVEtymology
I am pretty sure
"Hateration" derived from
The pun "Haterade."

Keep in mind that "hate"
— In this sense — is more about
Envy than contempt

"Haters" pull down their
Peers like the proverbial
Crabs In a barrel

While a "hater" can
"Come at" their betters, they are
Nothing to a boss
~P~
