Sour Grapes, Rotten Thoughts

by James Blaylock

Sour Grapes, Rotten Thoughts



reaping what we sow

should cause us caution,



but we tend to revel in revenge,

therefore, giving in to numbness



we'll make the unjust pay for everything,

with ourselves eating of the same rotten fruit...



as it's a vicious circle spinning,

one where nothing fits the plate

...well said, humbly adding we build our own torture chambers of flaggelation both or others and then ourselves. well written, i like/love the line-breaks.

I love the tone and language in this. It seems to put itself together without effort and not once comes off as forced. Those last two lines are great, too.
