Venom

zealous
jealous
faceless
baseless 
spite incites the zealous jealous breeds 
vomiting from faceless baseless creeds.

Once venom enters the blood, there is no turning back. It poisons the entire being. Or so it seems. Well said! ~ Maia

True! Venom only hurts us if we allow it to get into us deeply (bloodstream). If we let it run right through us (digestive), it is harmless; hence the title :) thanks for sharing your insight. It is good to hear when the intended message is being received!!
