WORDS OF THE LIVING
(GOOD AND EVIL)
Hate and pain spread like melting butter
So easy for hurt to mutter
Love and kindness spread like thickened mud
After all water is thicker than blood
Water reflects the good
Blood brings the bad
Spreading the mud
Takes a lot more energy
But please, think cleverly
Mud forms the ground
Beneath our feet
Keeping us grounded
With dreams to meet
The blood drowns is in doubt and danger
Making even the close test look like a stranger
Hating others makes us hate ourselves
Into the hell we can delve
Like water the blood reflects
This time a vicious hex
All the hate right back at you
So get up and move
And spread the mud
Spread the love
And leave the blood
Inside your veins
Don't involve it in your pains
Cut the bread
And not the wrist
If it beckons
Resist
