Toxic People - Be Aware Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It is not the snake venom
Inside their veins
Nor is it poisonous mushrooms
It's something far worse
It is wickedness
The pedestal of evil
Flowing deep in their hearts
It is the insecurity, greed and selfishness
That drives them into the house of wickedness
It is jealousy and envy enveloping their hearts
And sometimes it is pure evil that veils their spirit
Beware of toxic people
They are full of venom
And are surprisingly dressed with the soft coat of kindness
Over their thick scaly skin of wickedness
Toxic people are not uncommon
Among your colleagues and friends
Hiding in plain sight
Waiting
To pounce
To mutilate
And to disembowel your unsuspecting heart
But be brave
And put on the armor of Love
Do not hesitate
To offer them a warm cup of Love
And pour them a glass of goodness
It is your only weapon
Your only fortress
Love is a weapon and a shield
Love is an antidote and analgesic
Love is the essence of life
