Deceitful Words

The world is a garden, It is filled with the overflowing fruit of life Love, Joy, Peace, Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness- I do not see hatred in that, So do not bring it into this garden This garden is a safe haven, where weeds like you are not welcome. Where the only thing that weeds like you are good for is Destruction, Deprivation, Death. Do not come into this garden, And think that this safe haven is for your devastaition I will weed you so fast, That you won't be able to spread Like the disease you are Do not touch the flowers, Do not touch the crops, You will not touch the life in this garden, It is too important. If you touch this garden, You will be weeded You will be thrown away And stomped on Because if you are a weed in this garden, you are not welcome. You are an apple, Rotten apple, Your appearance does not fool me, For I know that your shine is farce The red glow, The little leaf When I cut you open, Get to know you, Befriend you, I find the rotted center of your heart Decomposing into nothing. Although you fool the rest of us, I can see through your "perfect" appearance Your "perfect" shape Your "perfect" life You are a white washed tomb The way you shine, The way you sparkle, Clean, Beautiful, But inside there is only wreckage and ruin Only the bones of the forgotten Only the death of the miserable. You are fooling no one You are filled with harm- You are human Your heart is fooled to think that you can hurt someone I care about Someone I love Someone who loves me back You try to be better than everyone But you're not, Not with your cruelty Not with your rotting soul 'No one will notice' No one has noticed Except for me So do not bring your pathetic immoral lies into this garden
