The Trap

Hatred is your soul`s cage
It looks ugly when you put it on page

You can``t  write poetry
When you are full of envy

There is no art
When one is evil, but smart

If it is beauty that you want to find
Look for the one whose heart is kind

If it is beauty that you want to see
Look for compassion and honesty

Don`t be trapped in the cage
Made of jealousy and rage.
