Poison
Poison
The poison runs in our veins
Instead of blood
Poison of hatred and envy
Poison of malice and anger
Poison of conflict and revenge
The poison you rather pour
Instead of love
Poison of pretense and sham
Poison of smirk and smug
Poison of slander and malign
The poison our heart nurtures
Instead of compassion
Poison of bias and possession
Poison of deceit and treachery
Poison of ego and ingratitude
The poison man ought to give up
To stand true to his rank
Among the creation
Poison of I, me, mine.
