Not So Human

"From the crevices below, A darkness rises, It rises into me, It delivers to me the deed to do horrible things." "I will spray paint graffiti, I will vandalize public spaces, I will speak up against the authority." "But, this is not enough, I must do more, Deeds that grant me attention." "I will commit corporate fraud, I will steal from the poor, I will deliver false justice." "My time is now, I must do more harsh deeds, Deeds That will scream my name Throughout history." "I will inspire a rebellion, I will destroy villages, Towns and Cities, I will commit mass murder in the name of my own destiny." " As the steel bars slam, I recollect back on what they said about me, They said I was inhuman, Well I think there was never much humanity in me to begin with."
