Seeds of discontent

How many of us realise
That we battle daily within
We fight against temptation
We fight against our needs
If only we could realise that
We fight against those seeds
Yes: seeds planted in our minds
Seeds of anger: seeds of discontent
Those very thoughts we entertain
Deep within our minds become
The words that we then vent...
Hurtful words when spewed forth
Become like poison to another's soul
Love falls beneath your vengeance
Peace shatters and breaks apart
Hurtful words like ice within your veins
They are like daggers through the heart
Harsh words cannot be recalled
You cannot take them back...
They are like those nails in the fence
Though you sincerely apologise...
Though you remove those nails
The holes remain forever visible
No soft words can remove their sting
For only unconditional love will ever win...
