I was not a human,
And you were not a man.
When you took me to hell with you,
I became the cursed, and you, the demon.
Your eyes of flame and ash,
Tore through me as a lash;
And scorched my soul into remnants,
To be coldly discarded as trash.
Your evils became mine,
And my world became thine,
As I begged to God for justice,
You then emerged from the abyss,
Into the sunshine…
On angels’ wings.

My rage can not be quelled,
By the pen, or by the sword.
Where only injustice has dwelled,
There can be no accord.
I saw someone murdered.
The murderer got away.
I was tortured, and no one cared,…
And have nothing to say.
People praise criminals,
While victims are forgotten.
Putting them onto pedestals,…
The guilty, and rotten.
So, my rage can not be quelled,
By the sword, or by the pen.
Where only injustice has dwelled,
Justice is a lie *Amen*

You pushed and pushed again…
Over and over and over…*Amen*
You pray, “O’ Lucifer, Smite the Damned!”,
Becoming that with which you command.
You laughed and laughed again…
Over and over and over…*Amen*
This is the hell you’ve fashioned on Earth,
For those such as I, cursed from our birth.
You spit and spit again…
Over and over and over…*Amen*
Those who are living in hell will refuse,
To play along, for they’ll only lose.
You tricked and tricked again…
Over and over and over…*Amen*
It’s not safe as a human in hell…
Surrounded…Shh, there’s nothing to tell.
You struck and struck again…
Over and over and over…*Amen*
There is no trust,…No guardians,…No safety.
Hell is here,
And the demons,…of humanity.

They told him that he was insane,
When life had beaten him down,
And instead of offering love and support,
They gave him drugs in which to drown.
They told him to stay locked away,
“To protect the most innocent”;
While the suicidal were sacrificed,
Upon their altar of consent.
They told her the baby should die,
When she feared being a mother.
Instead of helping her be one,
They taught her how to smother.
They told her she was only worth,
The money she could earn.
There was no worth in “family” work.
A home was meant to burn.
They told her she could have it all,
When there is only so much time,
So instead of having everything.
Everything was out of time.
They told him he was guilty,
For the crimes of a skin color.
Instead of individual guilt,
All are guilty for another.
They told him he was racisms’ victim.
That everyone else held him back.
So instead of giving him a hand to stand,
They stood upon his back.
They say they care for nature,
While they destroy it all too well,
And conspire against human life,
Forgetting humans are of nature as well.
They told him he was toxic,
For simply being born a man.
Instead of accepting nature as it is,
They told him he’d be better as a tran.
They told her sex is a construct,
Of an oppressive system,
While oppressing her with testosterone,
Was part of their stratagem.
They told him to speak his mind,
That the country was still free.
Instead they censored and cancelled him,
‘Til he promised (on one knee) to never again disagree.
They do not care about you,
But there are those out there who care,
They just aren’t for big government,
For power does not care.
Power seeks more power,
Be it by fear, or by deceit.
If they wanted to build where you stand,
You’d end up in concrete.
They’ll tell you they are in the right,
When all they do is wrong.
If one says one thing and does another,
You can bet they’re leading you along….
Into the depths of hell.

This land is full of Vampires,
Who long to steal my blood and soul.
I’m not a toy. My life is my own.
So no, I can not just give up my soul.
Accept me as I am, or leave me alone.
It’s taken time to realize,
I don’t exist to be their prey.
It is not my responsibility,
To help them feed, or feel a certain way.
It is not my duty to keep them happy.
I don’t owe an explanation.
A caring being wouldn’t need one.
If understanding…they would understand,
That people’s feelings, they can not be won,
By abuse, manipulation, or demand.
Oh Vampires! Hark, hear me well!
I’m allowed to feel what I feel.
You have two choices: Accept it or leave.
I am not your prey, and I’ll never kneel,
To monsters with such hearts as can only receive.
This land is full of Vampires,
Who long to consume without care;
And they do not endure in night’s shadows.
They walk in the sun with us, and you’d swear,
That they’re no different from others you know.
Except that they will feed on you,
Until there’s nothing left to take;
And never ‘nough to fill them, they’ll curse and jeer.
So don’t feel guilty for bearing a stake…
In your own life…
Do not let Vampire’s near,
For they only know how to take!
