The Darkness of My Humanity

I speak to human beings with my heart,
They answer me with their ego.
They all believed I was prey,
Until they discovered the darkness my impure soul has carried since I arrived in this dimension.

I speak of love and peace so that my demons don’t take control.
I don’t know why these hypocrites think they haven’t been unmasked.
I am aware that I will end up in the flames of my own hell.

In my nightmares, genocides are scenes of recreation.
In this infernal reality, fleeting vanities come at a price.
The devil doesn’t look me in the eyes when I bow before the universal force.

My celestial portion has been asleep since I’ve wandered upon this cursed planet.
I will never trust the human race.
Betrayal and hypocrisy are twin sisters prostituting themselves in the heart of humanity.
