Malice

Malicious intent, a heart so unkind

A cruel nature, a twisted mind

Sowing discord, causing pain

Leaving destruction, like a hurricane

Malice creeps, like a serpent's hiss

Destroying relationships, corroding bliss

It rots inside, and burns hot with fire

Fueling a desire, that never tires

Malice corrupts, like a poison that spreads

Leaving behind, shattered dreams and broken beds

It feeds on anger, it thrives on hate

Making life miserable, it seals our fate

So beware of malice, it's a treacherous foe

Better to sow love, and let kindness grow

For in the end, we will all be judged

By the goodness of our hearts, and the love we've grudged.
