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
