Hate From Love

Suppose hate was not the pawn that tore the world apart. Suppose it was not hate that strove men to kill but love. Love conquers all indeed, but not just of the positive kind. It was love in which a man bestows upon another that fills him with jealousy and greed when he does not or no longer possess it.
A taste of love is bliss but alike the temptations of the world, it is easy to come by and have but not so easy to keep. Although love can soothe someone, it can just as quickly bring them down if it is desired where it cannot be obtained.
Twas love one had for another when they sought out an affair.
Twas loss of love within the atmosphere that overjoys a soul to bleed from their wrists or to décor their necks in rope or to wrought a man in anger.
Love is the strongest power of all. It overcomes all living things in the universe and conquers all evil, but do not think for one second all is well with happy endings. For a single movement, conversation or thought can turn a mighty army against itself.
Love can conquer all and this is but the greatest down fall of all.
