What do you think this poem is about?

I Hate You

I hate you like the fire hates the rain
I hate you like the whore hates the shame
I hate you like the priest hates the sin
I hate you like the snake hates its skin
I hate you like the teen-mom hates her child
I hate you like the smoker hates his milds
I hate you like the father hates his failure
I hate you like the inmate hates his jailor
I hate you like the woman hates her period
I hate you like the non-believer hates the sacred
I hate you like the forest hates the fire
I hate you like the rapist hates his desire
I hate you like the ocean hates the storm
I hate you like the child who hates to be born
I hate you like the hungry hate their lives
I hate you like the skin hates the knife
I hate you like the devil hates the above
I hate you like you hate love
