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.

Until we change the world,
It threatens to destroy us.
We, the victims of life,
Huddle in this great necropolis,
Imprisoned by ourselves.
Look at what we’re doing?
Criminality is normalized,
And normal feelings criticized;
While victimhood is psychologized,…
And for what “greater good”?
Does this help anyone?
Other than the criminals?
Who stomp on others’ rights?
As the arbitering sentinals,
Of human destruction?
Why aren’t thugs called insane?
And offered rehabilitation?
Instead ‘different’ means insane,
And victims get mere indignation;
And all the social shame.
A society’s wrong,
That lets criminals go free,
And others pay for crimes.
Understanding criminality,
While misunderstanding mercy.
For no mercy will come,
When it’s assumed that bad is okay,
And being good is ‘just too bad’.
The most innocent will always pay.
The road to hell’s been paved,
With those society chose to lay,
At the feet of those it saved.

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*
