Have You Ever Grown A Poison Tree??

I've had just enough time...   to prune a poison tree.

Taken in the foothill of Mount Kinabalu, Sabah.

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe;
I told it not, my wrath did grow. 

And I water'd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with my smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles. 

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine, 

And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree

- "A Poison Tree", William Blake

Have you ever grown a poison tree 

To poison one of your foe? 

Did it made you happy,

When its poison took hold?
And when you watched him slowly die,
Did it make you feel good inside?
