A Hidden Disease (Dedicated To the Victims of Bullying)
A HIDDEN DISEASE. (2006 July 2006)
A pack of wolves,
Their eagerness reined,
Like men imprisoned, whose
appetites are awakened to
maim...destroy. Anilihate.
Await to devour lambs.
Pleasure sniffed through flared nostrils,,,
Behind glistened eyes.. hidden glee!
Joyous gloating, Power!
surges at the forth coming massacre.
The innocent...
cringe, quiver,
scared, powerless, confused.
Cries for help hidden, desperate,
Victims...
who dread the break of day,
from the never ceasing , merciless
hunt.
A few lambs will flee,
Sickness for some an excuse,
Many will stay away,
suicide the answer to others,
to stop the endless pain.
The bleating voices of the sheep
will baa! They are weak, that
it has always existed...
humanity is the same throughout
it will never change,
they get what they deserve when
they don't conform,
is the argument of hunter's, bystanders,
amongst the mindless flock.
Everywhere civilised, enlightened, people live,
Disguised in wealth, fame, middle class, poor,
The silent disease rampant though denied,
Leaven that taints the bread,
Inoculated to it cries.
The masked bully carries on untouched.
