Explanation:
3rd choice
Poetry is condensed and restrictive in the sense that the number of words is limited. This means that every word must mean more than one thing, and it is the poet's job to find just the perfect words -- perfect in sound, meaning, and structure. This concept gives poetry its layers of meaning. Prose is free-er. It does not concern itself much on the way it sounds and the way it looks on the page the way poetry does.
Note: the translation of your poem may vary, so check the word choices before answering.
In the first stanza, the personification of hatred creates an image of a predator, a creature able to "vault" obstacles. Words like "vault," "pounce" and "track" add to this image. (Your translation might have "regards," "leaps," and "overtakes" -- but the idea is the same).
Personification is used later in the poem to contrast hatred with compassion, brotherhood, and doubt. Hatred, she writes "never tires" of being an executioner. Furthermore, it's "always ready," even if it must wait. In this way, he can wait for compassion and brotherhood to give way to violence.
Brotherhood, compassion (or empathy, depending on the translation) and doubt, she says, are "sluggish" and do not compel people to act in the way hatred does.
