A Grisly Tapeworm

A Grisly Tapeworm In Anger and in Hatred, a Tapeworm I see Unless internally hosted, its Life will not be. From egg it starts Life, ‘fore an adult worm Fed on Host’s blood, it gains a portly form. While finer or fatter, greedy Worm gnaws, The wretched Host, pale and thin he grows. Then the anaemic Host, too ill to live a day Falls in the dark pit, where there’s no ray! * The same story is true of a Man with Hate Hate soon embraced, is an iniquitous mate. So, I avidly learned , my temper to narrow Perspective being that it eats man’s marrow. To nurture it in Heart, Hate will grow so big And wiggle one’s Dignity; like a tail of a pig! For, Anger grows so fat that Man is in sorrow By eating all his vim to leave a man hollow! * To internalise Hate is to eat a sharp blade That curves from inside while fast you fade. It spins some mortal blow in its incisive poise That fates and finishes by its hushed noise: The structure curves in, trusses cut and gone He falls on the floor with not a single bone! * Hearken ye therefore, Hate begets dearth Piety Mad Haters who know no inner mirth! For, to lavish in Love, denigrating foolish Hate Bestows inner Peace or sense of pure sate. Gimme not filthy wealth, gimme not lucre I’m a happy man giving Love and Succour!! JM 31st Oct’ 2013
