The Same Coin

I sit in my little corner
With a very wry smile
I feed on your rage
And prey on your anger

Now you know
In your minute brain
How the shoe hurts
And the ripples cripple

When the dishes
Burnt the mouth
Like the molten magma
Which melts the volcano

Now you see
The effects of your action
Like a director’s cut
All of a sudden
Your life is like a movie

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
