~Poetry~
Those treated cruelly
Do so cruelly others treat
Not as with intent
Though in desperation
To try and rid the pain
That horrid internal hell
Where you exist alone
In shame, in fear,
In pain
It becomes you
And so, all you touch
Will too feel you
As pain
Until they too become as you
As lost as you
In pain as you
Exponentiation occurs
Soon all there is to be known
Pain within spreads out
Reaching cold tendrils
Through time and space
Until we find ourselves here
All sickened with pain
Trying to free ourselves
But lashing wildly
We enslave those near
Often too those dear
A sickness inherited
Through a lineage
Dating to our garden
To the beginning
Where the first seeds lay
Planted in fear, grown to shame
And so blossomed to hate
Acted eternally
Ever appearing anew
But always the same
The enemy within
Perceived without
Treated so cruelly
Dust In The Mountain
