Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.

Hate And Dislike
Hate and dislike are not the same thing between them the difference is great
We well may not like everybody but our dislike should not give way to hate
For hatred leads people to bad crimes since hatred as a feeling is very intense
The feeling of hatred is noxious and is poison to common sense.
Some commit murder due to hatred and than murder there is no worse a crime
Their hatred has landed them in prison for to serve a lengthy span of jail time
Their life it is ruined forever and darkness envelopes their soul
Suppose that is what's bound to happen when hatred is out of control.
Hate and dislike are two different creatures and though dislike to hatred can grow
Hate in it has got far more venom those who hate mercy will not show
Whilst those who dislike you may not harm you at least not in a physical way
And if you asked me to choose between them I would choose dislike any day.

I Save My Passions
I don't dislike you with a passion.
I just dislike you.
I save my passions,
For more worthy events that benefit.
Some people talk,
From both sides of their mouths.
In the belief they are providing comic relief.
I see this as a distasteful embellishment.
At someone's expense...
Who is believed not to know the cost of it.
I don't dislike you with a passion.
I just dislike you.
I save my passions,
For more worthy events that benefit.

The Odds Would Be More In Your Favor
Do you actually believe,
I would 'say' something you dislike?
I might!
But I wouldn't count on it.
However,
If I were you...
I would bet on me 'writing'
Something you dislike.
That's what I would advise.
Since the odds would be more in your favor!

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

The Dictator
How do I dislike you?
Let me count the ways,
Too long to enumerate,
But what I dislike most about you is,
That you have disseminated Hate,
And have tried, our lovely Country,
To bankrupt and break.

Oppression does not make for hearts as big as all outdoors. Oppression makes us big and small. Expressive and silenced. Deep and dead.

The type of band that I have now, the type of music that we're playing you either like it or you dislike it. If you dislike it, you probably don't know why. By the same token, you can't even really say why you like it.

Don't be alike
you are in war
day and in night
go you to fight
for peace to live
keep heart clean
'cause that the case
don't be alike
whom you dislike
when you defeat
whom you difeat
don't do the way
they always made
keep your trace
on the path of rise
don't be alike
whom you dislike

They Dislike Themselves
They dislike each other.
Ask them!
They will admit they do.
Ask them the reason...
And they will have not one clue.
Unless disliking someone,
Based on what is believed one thinks...
The other thinks.
The other feels.
The other does.
And what another one says!
That may or may not be honest or real.
Purely something done,
That has been based on speculation!
To ruin and destroy.
As if to reflect one's environment...
And its degradation.
Like choosing a slot machine at a casino.
Because it may display pictures of diamonds or stars,
On the turning wheels.
And avoiding it if the appearance does not appeal.
And making decisions by how one feels...
Not investigated at all.
That would take the time of a mature mind.
Need I say more?
They dislike each other,
Some say they hate.
Because something told that was not true.
By some who instigate.
They also dislike themselves as well.
Since they've been told they should!
And they do.
Need I say more?
Hopefully this isn't you.

Time to Waste and No Life to Live
You don't like me?
And...?
The point you are making is,
What?
Wouldn't it be easier,
For you just to ignore...
What it is you dislike?
And find what appeases you,
To enjoy your life.
Or should I say also,
I dislike you?
So you can pursue...
An attention from me,
You are obviously not getting.
Okay.
I am interested.
But first...
Help me understand people like you,
Who have this kind of time to waste.
And no life to live.

Leavings
Leavings
On the railway platform, trains leaving, white
steam, suitcases and a throng of thousand eyes.
Worried humanity and relieved ones too; to be
free of oppression he is leaving to seek work far
from here. Men in uniform looking important
carrying green and red little flag, waving one of
them and blowing a whistle: All onboard! ”
I dislike departures there is a change, nothing
will ever be the same. People walking home in
silence, words have lost meanings. lies have
been told dignity and pride have been sacrificed
in the quest to look happy; the night is endless
full of unanswered questions that streaks through
the night avoiding answers

Elmont
A slave escapes from his owner and now,
He is crowned as a king for all to see;
But i will always meet you between the double walls of love.
I have surely seen the oppression of my people like,
The practice of a female prostitute;
But Elmont my lover is at the bay of the sea of love waiting.
Oh my pleasant one! Come to me;
And do not urge me to leave you my love,
For wherever you go, i will go with you.
I have surely seen the oppression of my people like,
The practice of a male prostitute;
But Elmont my lover is at the bay of the sea of love waiting.
Oh my love,
Lat all your needs be my responsibilities!
And, come and refresh yourself with my love;
Stay the night and enjoy yourself with me,
For, i have surely seen the oppression of my people.

Oppression
Oppression, press, roses, sins, on, prone, use, sue, is, an, on, no, pipe, Pope, pens;
Those alive sees the sun,
But straight ahead is your lover waiting for you.
Oppression, ions, pop, sons, in, pins, sores, ore, noses, poses, prose, pep, ions;
My heart is like the muse of your love!
But you need my mind to crown the day around you always.

Past Written Poems I Confess I Dislike
I have past written poems
which I confess I dislike
occasionally intensely dislike
when publishing most poets
will not include bad poems
but contrast can be interesting
juxtaposition of poems
arranged in selection volume
major poems great poems
will vary from reader to reader
who likes simple who craves deep
artistry from all forms may creep

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
