Sour Grapes
A Poison Within
By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read
Grapes pressed by hatred make bitter the wine
We’ll be known by the fruit that we ate
Our own self-destruction, it kills from within
Through gossip, revenge, and our hate
Human nature compels us to “even the score”
But nature’s infected with lies
Bitter the poison we swallow ourselves
All while hoping that someone else dies
