Kin and Kind

If only you see
Kin and kind lovely


No need to forsake
Such clumsy outtakes


If only you can
Glimpse and understand


No need to set fire
Odd luck that attires


If only you know
Sad pangs of I'll-flow


No need to cut out
Pieces of flesh pout


If only you dwell
On visions of hell 


No need to feel vexed
On mistakes that tax


If only you hold
With black heart so cold


No need to cut ties
With your bloody lies


If only you burn
Paths of no return


No need to just hitch
A riddled black reach


If only you merge
With deep broken scourge


No need to be nice
You wear well your vice


If only you trap
Death in your mind map


No need to need more
To settle the score


If only you spell
Bluff in show-and-tell
