A Venomous Tree

Nocturnal anger claims the night, Raging blows rained with might, Vindictive tongues no truth in sight... Feasted on carrion As lies grow wings Shallow perceptions Matured not in spring, To be clothed in white, And hate it sings... Rebuked with blindness On a day of sorrow, When doors closed Deprived of tomorrow, To trudge in emptiness in a world so shallow... Bigotry is a venomous tree, Its fruit brings so much misery, In a world supposed to be free... Such is bigotry...
