The Murder of Souls Written by Mrs Yolanda Joy Nicholsen

thee deep seated hatred gnarling 
at ones soul beckoning eating away 
of the sheer foundation of self 
a terrifying entity alive and well 

searching the innermost calm 
of a peaceful being believing in 
the purity of goodness only to 
behold the hidden shallow virtue 

of demonic human angst being 
carried out between the realms 
of envy curled up beyond a quaint 
sudden rapture gathered above 

a sinking notion of the death 
of human compassion hindered so
to the point of no refuge from envy
forced to end ones on life in return 

comes across quite appealing rather
than behold the mere notion that envy 
has crawled inside the attic of your mind
hatred employs wrath murdering my soul
