The Trap

Hatred is your soul`s cage It looks ugly when you put it on page You can``t write poetry When you are full of envy There is no art When one is evil, but smart If it is beauty that you want to find Look for the one whose heart is kind If it is beauty that you want to see Look for compassion and honesty Don`t be trapped in the cage Made of jealousy and rage.
