Storms of Hate

When hearts are enraged 
 by storms they cannot control
 Violent actions may lead
 to murder most foul

 A heart filled with hate
 will not hesitate
 to kill those it despises
 Life it will annihilate 

 Jealousy, that green eyed monster
 Can turn brother against brother
 As in the biblical story of Cain
 Whose envy left his brother slain

I agree w/Christy and Victor. Very deep and insightful poem, Joseph. I love the biblical reference ... adds the spiritual touch I love so much. Powerfully truthful poetry. I have taken notice of your talents, and will delve more into your vast catalog of poems, Lord willing, time permitting. Marvelous poem. A 7 for sure. May love light your path always.
