Merry Christmas

If I tender a greeting to the world
and then respond with vitriol
and hatred
and viscious bile filled threats in veils,
am I wishing happiness
or just trying to convince all
that I am more deserving
than those I hate?

And what does that say about me?

I guess I know what this is about, Jonathan,

and if it is about what I think it is about, you deserve 10 stars for content. For form, please see the following suggestions: If I tender a greeting to the world and then respond with vitriol and hatred and viscious bile filled threats in veils, am I wishing happiness or just trying to convince all that I am more deserving than those I hate? And what does that say about me? Yours, ~Nina
