A short poem about war and hatred.
Beyond the boundaries of normal thought,
Nestled in a tangle of twisted reality.
A mind so dark, pulses with visions of hate.
Corroding away any signs of goodness.

How easy this passion for hatred flows.
Beginning with a single vile notion.
Only to infect the minds of others.
Ones who cannot think for themselves.

The more infected,
The faster it spreads.
Eventually, near whole continents are inflicted.
A mass of drones, giving their lives.

Fuelled by this terrible condition,
They reap revenge on the innocent.
Without any humility,
Without any possibility of redemption.

From this comes terrible destruction.
Life lost to this infectious monster.
What for and why?
Nothing can excuse this act of war.

Why is it so easy to hate?
Why cant love be so contagious?
It’s just the way of the weak.
The way of the world!
