Cold, Seething Ember
feeding on its own fire,
it rages from within itself,
ablaze with the vilest ire
under the veneer of civility,
with spiteful vengeance,
it smolders smokeless
'neath the mask of generosity,
with murderous intent,
it burns flameless
behind the facade of sincerity,
with insatiable wrath,
it explodes noiseless
in a friendly smile embedded,
a cold, seething ember - -
white-hot hatred.
