The cycle speeds up

And the cycle slows down

But nothing has changed

And it’s not changing now.

The kingdom will fall

But not the one, they think

Because this is what you get

With hatred and pride.

It’s not about me

And it’s not about them

Nameless, faceless and stupid

Cursed, ugly, and dead.

Unable to see

And unwilling to grow

Some lash out at others

Because they cannot

Understand themselves.

When I see them

I smile

Because I can see

And they are blind. 

Their anger is like a poison

And their hatred like an acid

Burning them

From the inside out. 

They attack

And they kill

But it is they who will die

And they who will burn. 

Blood matters

More than we know

Surging through my heart

And coursing through my veins.

Inside I have a secret

One they do not know

And even if

I am savaged  

I was loved all along.

Even good deeds

Can be done with evil intentions

But even all the power in the world

Will never change

What God has done. 

The more that the rules are slanted

The worse it will become

With an outcome exactly the opposite

Of what they wanted

All along.

Just as the river flows downwards

So also do we

Going where,  we are programmed

Inside of our brains.

These words

Are not written for prizes

And I do not expect

To be lauded or praised

But the truth remains a treasure

More valuable than gold.
