Bitter Cores

Some people are so ugly you can’t believe how ugly they are

Hereditary by genetics and of their own making

Falling on their own

Bitter cores exposed

Seeping into the ground

Carving out graves, making them their permanent home

Sweetness?

That’s something they know only by association

Admiring and replicating other fruit, unable to produce quality juice

It’s not of them

So they copy because that’s all they know

Surprise! Death and destruction greet them with a hello!
