Hate Your Enemy

THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS!
We must kill the enemy that harms us.
DO NOT let him charm us into believing
His deceiving lies.
Realize that the enemy helps us only to achieve death
We must obliterate the enemy till there is none of him left.

YES! THIS IS A CALL TO GENOCIDE!
We must seek the enemy out where he hides
And murder his bride and all of his offspring!
We must kill the enemy as an offering to our higher.
We must aspire to wage a most wholesome battle
Against the straddle that the enemy imposes upon us

THUS…THIS IS A CALL TO WAR!
We can tolerate the enemy no more!
He slaughters our poor
And promises more
Blood and tears
In the years to come
Now is the time to unite as one
And end this once and for all!

THIS IS MY CALL!
To all who have ears:
Abandon your fears
Stop hesitating!
Start investigating
The true identity
Of this oppressive entity

Read between the lines
As I tell you one last time...

Hate, Your Enemy!
Hate, Your Enemy!
Hate, Your Enemy!
Hate, Your Enemy!

There is a somewhat hidden message in the image. If you're on a mobile device, turn it sideways, then angle the phone away from you.

Upvote or comment on this post if you got it. I'm hoping at least someone can figure out the cipher. If not, I'll explain sometime tomorrow.

I don't usually like to offer my own thoughts on my poems, but I feel it is important in this case.

It is actually pretty hopeful, at least I thought so. If you look at the top image either from far away or at an angle, you will see that there are words in there. It works best on a mobile device where you can close one eye then look at an angle almost like you're looking at the charger hole. If you do that, you should see the words "HATE IS" in the image. If you rotates your device 90 degrees counter clockwise, and do the same thing, you will see the words "YOUR ENEMY" appear perpendicular to the "HATE IS". So the message of the poem is "HATE IS YOUR ENEMY" this was hinted in the lines of the last stanza.

"_Start investigating
The true identity
Of this oppressive entity

Read between the lines_"

It is also hinted by the punctionation in the final proclamation.

"Hate, your enemy"

This is better utilized in the haiku version of this poem, but it is meant to indicate an extra adjective to hate. Like if I were to use it in a different way, I would say "Joe, your friend...is a cool guy." In that instance it is used to say Joe is your friend.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Hate is indeed the enemy, however it might be difficult for people to understand the deeper meaning

Yes, I am finding that out. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Are you sure you understand the message?

I don't condone violence

Me neither...well, I don't condone aggression.

That's fine. This poem is not about either.

Would you mind reading it again?

I don't think it means what you think it does. There are clues in the punctuation, and in the images.

I get it, I've complied some dark stuff in my time. But now?
