Psalm of Hatred

by FTS Miles   Feb 23, 2005


I sift through this ancient
compendium of human virulence
and distill from the copycat bile
at the fetid heart of spite,
a few choice refrains:

You are beneath me!
I despise you!
You will die!
I will kill you!
Vengeance is mine!
My god wills it!

No matter what maw
yawns wide with spittle,
the psalm of hatred
remains the vile same.

    I can easily imagine you saying this out loud, speaking to the people with such passion and fury to make it potent!
    Very insightful Miles, and energetic.
