The Mind of Contempt
The angry mind's rage that depletes, is small
Destitute of thought, only illusion
Its tethered voice becomes the screaming call
Attacking is the only conclusion
The dark impoverished mind is void of light
Enters black, with no exit to be free
Whether wrong or right stubbornness will fight
Parched and infertile truth allowed to flee
This rage will only speak to purity
With token words spoken to disappear
To run, to flee buried by impurity
That once rested on ledges of its fear
This blind demon of rage, deeper than pain
Becomes master, it's yourself you disdain
