the air damp with decay

hate skulks in the hidden

quarters of the mind

hate complements fear,

fear that derives from a

hatred of live itself

hide your feelings and emotions

suppress your warmth and care

greed overtakes involvement

indifference breeds ignorance

perverted streaks become blatant

oppressing true passionate love

violence rapes tender tissues

shreds it to pieces

a mortal fear rules the streets

morbid fantasies dominate
