Roger Roger Poet Rhyme

A Latent Poison

Hate is a latent poison
That slays without hesitation 
It is a steely prison 
That halts the shining of one's dawn 

It is an iron shackle 
That dims one's hope for miracle 
Should you hate until your doom 
Then your fate won't come to bloom

*When you hate, especially for long or without sufficient reason, it is not the one that you hate that suffers but you*
