LETTING MYSELF HATE

I let myself hate some people, Just this once, without remorse. It isn’t that they couldn’t be better But they certainly couldn’t be worse. When I see someone hurting others Just because they know they can I begin to doubt if they really are Still what we could call a man. Or a woman, it’s that way too. I have seen both happening And their womanhood doesn’t really Spare them the awful labeling As monsters no less than seen In the worst of horror flicks. You don’t have to watch them long To recognize that they are sick. Why would anyone with everything; House, toys and outrageous food Find themselves so evil and resentful To get into a robbing, killing mood? Yet they do, and spend great energy Finding ways to steal and maim more And more of people they don’t know And then call themselves sweet names. What does it take to make people be All hyped up on these kinds of games? And why do others applaud them And act like they are something great? Go ahead, come up with some excuses. I’ll be patient and sit and just wait. What could make a person believe That genocide, embezzlement and theft Are they only ways they can have fun? That there is nothing more fulfilling left?
