Poem -
HOW TO SELF DESTRUCT
I can tell no lie
When I speak of the boiler
That is within me
Rage fires it up and
Pride blocks its gradual release
I must hold it in
Till I destroy
Lonesome
As the wronged that are self-interested
Weary
As the sinners who voluntarily abandon faith
Angry
As the volcano that warns more then less then erupts
I will destroy all that is me
Forgiveness will not do
I have sealed my fate
With forgetfulness
That seeks all that is imagined
Facts and reality are inventions
That wrong must overcome
Peace will not reign until I am undone
Love will shed blood willingly
The grave will get what is left of me
