The Father of Hate
He's been with us forever.
I don't know how many years.
Some even think that he's clever.
But he wont get any cheers.
He has an uncanny knack
of telling people what to do..
Don't you believe he has your back.
Because he'll turn it back on you.
.
He hides in the shadows
and likes to pray on the weak.
He'll always go to the gallows.
If your there you might get a peek.
You'll see him deep in the eyes
of those who know that it's too late.
He relishes the screams and cries
when the reaper tells them of their fate.
Some have driven him back
and say they'll never surrender.
But if it's courage they lack
their lives just may end there.
Evil men will try to use him
to get something from someone else.
He just laughs out loud at there sin.
Then he'll make them wet themselves.
.
If your ever attacked by another.
Don't let him make you hesitate.
Anger calls him a brother.
He is the father of hate.
.
If you ever see intimidation
you know that he will appear.
You may know him by a different name
but his real name is fear.
