The Root of Bitterness

The root of bitterness…
from which “bad fruit” grow…
and it’s these negative things…
that we all need to know.
For the root of bitterness…
is exhibited by anger and wrath…
and it’s these deep seeded roots…
that will lead you down a wrong path.
For the inner anger rages…
and the malice and slander rise…
until it peaks with destruction…
where “bad fruits” can’t be disguised.
But the truely sad part is…
that this root only hurts you…
not only spiritually…
but emotionally and physically too.
For the bitterness root…
grows and intertwines in our hearts…
and when we can’t forgive…
physical ailments will eventually start.
So lets forgive each other…
letting go of all anger and pain…
and though we’ll never forget…
  forgiveness and forgetting are not the same.
