Envenomation

Envenomation

A Poem by Relic

Venomous
people will always hunt.

They'll slither
a neighbor's
mind, always
ready to bite.

They spread noxious
poison.

Malevolent,
remorseless,
they creep.

Unexpected,
unanticipated,
they infect.

No one is
immune.

No garden is immune...A very special line that I'll remember. The poem has beautifully painted a picture that's almost Biblical in its visualization. As if the serpent in Eden.

Snakes always be snaking...lions are never cheetahs but cheetahs always be lion. ;) (laughing)
