"Destined Minds"

A SPITEFUL HEART

For all those who care
for nothing nought
but to show one's
hatred and spite

Embittered by life
and not happiness be
save in the crooked heart
that seeks to fight

Laugh and mock
deride those hurting
your future crushed
by presents hate

Spawns the wielded words
and bubbles the turmoil
dragging in the gullible
creating loveless state.

Spite and hate be the
emblem upon your sleeve
when cruel intentions
seek to deceive...

But care not
worry not
whom you hurt in your wake
for there comes a time

for all to face that all
must passage through
and give account of every word
that weighs such spite in kind

look around and what
do you see but fooled
breath from venoms
blood that spills

keen to rally and poison
but keen are they to
take delight to tear
down those so suffering

no remedy for hate of black
covered in piercing thorns
save love's spilled blood
that oft such hate rejects

and in the end it's love
that wins the day over
hates deep abyss and
quells, restores twisted no more
