As I look in his eyes all I see is hate and cold

And I'm amazed 

At people's tendency to lean towards hate

Beauty and bounty all around

And yet all they see is the illness and decay

As I hear his words all I feel is bitter venom that he spews

And I'm amazed at people's tendency to lean towards hate

Poetry and music all around

And yet all they hear are the war cries and bemoaning

Why is it that when it comes to love and hate 

People always go for the latter

Why is it that we crave for eternal love

Yet when push comes to shove

We bail

Why is it that we romanticize everything ever known

And yet exult in a frenzied bloodlust

In an endless battle, why does the devil on the shoulder triumph over the angel

Could it be that we are all broken toys that a divine child threw away?

Because it is only the darkness that holds us in its perpetual sway.
