Hate Speech

I hate to tell you this, but hate’s been banned;
All hated hate has been replaced by love.
And though your hate I fully understand,
I hate to tell you this, but hate’s been banned;
There’ll be no hate allowed throughout the land.
And just in case you missed the news above:
I hate to tell you this, but hate’s been banned;
All hated hate has been replaced by love.

— D.N. O’Brien
