The Face of Hate


by  Crystal Cartier


Have you ever gazed upon the face of hate?
Have you studied it¹s twisted features?
Despite the pain pity might spare
Anger gone over the edge
Midnight horror
Creature features
Soul possessed
Demonic force
Beyond all reason
Time for divorce
Split the scene
Fight or flight
Too damned mean
Cold dark knight
Child of satan
Tears blood stained
Nothing left
Of good remains
Red heat
Fiery breath
Is this just
Another test?
Lord?
Are you paying attention?
Please deliver me!
I¹m in the Lion¹s Den
Love¹s child
Indeed in need
Touch
Heal stony heart
Anger ripping me apart
Fix it Lord I know you can
Heal the twisted heart of Man
Music hath power to soothe the savage beast
Freedom come!  We need release!
Victim turned victimizer
Hurt seething affecting Fate
Love send a kind reminder
Penetrate the face of Hate
