when hatred and love are topics
but strong emotions are top picks

of words that still leave you confused.

writing can make you beg and plead
take out your soul and watch you bleed
but no one else will sympathize.

like trying to earn cash with words
only leads to sad hungry sighs.

Often leading to more surprise
a day spent looking at the trees
is time spent that truly agrees
leaving you poor, healthy and wise.
