A stab at poetry...

This came to me as I was reading the Ortberg book and saw the phrase: Banquet of Bitterness.

Banquet of Bitterness

Come and sit,
For here is a grand feast!
Fit for a king,
But served by a beast.

The courses are many,
But you’ll never be full.
Your guests will be few,
But they’ll never be dull.

You’ll eat of pain
And drink of sorrow
The menu’s of yesterday,
forget tomorrow.

You’ll slurp up every wrong,
Served on your plate.
It’s a buffet of anger,
Sadness and hate.

This banquet of bitterness,
toward everyone you’ve known.
devours the heart,
But only your own.
