it is so easy to hate,
it takes no thinking at all.
a vacuum of disregard for no reason,
is what does us in on hate.

why is there hate?
for the opposite reason there is love.

hate.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available From: http://www.cafepress.com/byrongates.26516064
