ANGER: FURY OF A BETRAYED VICTIM

It always feel like a curse,
What disloyalty does to us,
You give all you’ve got for someone you think is right,
You get hit by the element of surprise off your sight.

What shall it benefit a man to betray his fellow brother?
Is it normal for us not to reason about it and ever bother?
You can’t continue to maltreat an animal because of its submission or you being tough,
And expect it not to look you straight in the eyes and say enough is enough.

It might seem okay to play smart on someone’s intelligence,
But uncomfortable when that intelligence hurts you out of your negligence,
The gum you chew up and spit out today,
Could find its way back to hurt you on a negligent day.

Treat everyone like you always want to be treated,
Not everyone you hurt deserves to be maltreated,
It’s very true all plants look harmlessly the same,
Be careful not to encounter the type that would entirely put you out of the game.
