Fumes of a Misanthrope

Fumes of a Misanthrope
Gnaw, rip, tear!
The deceiver stares in your eyes
The beast within awakens, bares its fangs
Against that halo of false virtues and ties.

The beast roars,
The egoist grins
Your own eyes glisten with hate.
How much more to tolerate?

The blade flashes,
The beast leaps,
And you’re turned to ashes
By hatred in heaps.

The traitor lives on
And so do you
Feigning friendship and compassion
In a bitter world.

Time goes by
And all’s forgotten-
A seamless bond,
Yet with insides rotten.
