The poison tree by William Blake<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was angry with my friend:<\/p>\n
I told my wrath and my wrath did end,<\/p>\n
I was angry with my for:<\/p>\n
I told it not, my wrath did grow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I watered it in fears<\/p>\n
Night and morning with my tears;<\/p>\n
I sunned it with smiles,<\/p>\n
And with soft deceitful wiles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And it grew both day and night,<\/p>\n
Till it bore an apple bright;<\/p>\n
And my foe beheld it shine,<\/p>\n
And he knew it was mine,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And into my garden stole<\/p>\n
When the night had veiled the pole:<\/p>\n
In the morning glad I see<\/p>\n
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The stillness of the body if my foe<\/p>\n
Should have brought my body to glow<\/p>\n
Had it been sowed with a conscience<\/p>\n
That was not covetous like mine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How much I long see him back<\/p>\n
But life once gone never come back.<\/p>\n
Why did U sow the seed of anger<\/p>\n
That charred both of us together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I never wanted him to live<\/p>\n
Till the time he was alive<\/p>\n
Because anger was right there in my mind<\/p>\n
Gruelling what was suppose to bind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now I regret my poisonous anger most<\/p>\n
That took my friend so close<\/p>\n
Only because I refused him to respect<\/p>\n
More than my ego divine.<\/p>\n
