Thorn Within

In walking the road 
We are too worried about pot holes 
In every twist and turn we are looked anxious
But the thorns we keep  
Within us the bad seeds we grow  
Are callously overlooked 
In the garden the way we clean weeds  
With the same intensity and urgency 
We need them to be removed.
