Better To Plant Flowers

Better To Plant Flowers
                                                              

                                    There are vile people on this planet of ours 
                                    people who argue even in their heads that what is 
                                    right is wrong   and what is wrong is right and
                                    about this they are tight and could bite if it suits them

                                    But these troublemakers are worthy of neither our life
                                    nor our time and should have their own country- a land 
                                  full of rocks and lack for their upset foundation is not 
                                 our influenced foundation 

                                  They are themselves our enemies and clueless judges
                                   and their vine is wicked despite their ability to hide their
                                  tart indifference from view- their deceit can be convincing
                                  but only if you’re not mentally alert 

                                   But do not give in to their veiled deceit even though
                                    they might act hurt by your resistance especially if you
                                    are persistent to resist their grapes of uncalled for obstruction
                                    It’s better to align yourself with the good and plant flowers
                                    than to be duped and get stuck with cacti
