Affection
Affection is so simple and innocent.
Why inflict pain?
Why no love?
Why not touch the world with kindness?
The demand is there, but no surplus.
Affection is always welcome.
Why is there no one to trust?
Why live alone?
Why be silent?
We avoid it so much.
Affection is so essential.
Does hate caress you?
Are you not one of us?
Why are you so evil?
There is no excuse not to love.

Does hate caress you?

There is no excuse not to love.

Wise words: indeed there is no excuse not to love. You've asked important questions that all of us must take into consideration to reflect on our quality of life. If only life was devoid of hatred.
Well done!

Thank you. I feel it is a topic that should be questioned and expressed more
