Poison Egos

Not every fight’s a worthy fight

And most, a bitter pill

The choice is ours to pick a plight

For dying on which hill

If bitterness is like a grudge

Then anger is its twin

Forgiveness often takes a nudge

Or neither one will win

As bitter anger spreads throughout

Devouring the host

It poisons from within, no doubt

A blackened heart the most

So what excuse would lend support

What was this battle for

To recognize that life is short

Should finally end the war

So now dear Lord it’s You I thank

My eyes can finally see

The bitterness I freely drank

It only poisoned me
