does hatred die behind a swift ribbon of blood

To make hatred disappear in a river of a flood,
What is it we truly want to gain?
Does hatred die behind a swift ribbon of blood?
Do we know if it goes once we've buried the slain,
6 feet under in the dirt and the mud?

Whether it be distaste,
Disrelish or simply detestation.
Animosity or animus to total abomination.
Does it disappear if you wipe out the cause of its creation?
Or does it not just make things worse?
With a little trip,
to the local police station?
Changing hatred for guilt,
Eating at you,
Whilst the victims family are picking a headstone,
from the local stone mason.

Making a Crimson red flow,
Doesn’t help matters,
Just makes other sorts of problems grow.
But,
Hey,
I've never done it so really,
How would i know?
