POEM: Hate by Wire

Posted on May 24, 2020 by B Gourley

Hate scuttles down a wire.
It was sent hatefully,
and received angrily.

But wire knows neither hate nor love —
nor does circuitry.
Electrons don’t.
Hardware doesn’t,
software doesn’t —
only wetware.

What passes down that line?

Brilliant, plus I learned a new word and have put a new responsibility on my wetware. To be a transceiver of peace and love.
