Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

Unrestrained Hatred

I have often seen perfidious faces
wandering through dark hallways
without showing any human resemblance:
ah, is it envy, ah is it jealousy;
or an unquenchable absurdity
that doesn't admit their open obstinance? 

Unrestrained hate can turn us into unrecognizable monsters,
and these demons must carry out the plotted massacres
to be satisfied with the vengeful evil inflicted upon the strollers,
no pity is shown while the flesh gurgles with blood and shivers! 

What should be the right penalty? Face death, or remain chained?
Before pulling the trigger: are we aware of the consequences? 
Each person is responsible for their behavior: it's an ample hatred 
never quenched by vengeance to feed its atrocious thoughts! 

Unrestrained hatred can turn us into unrecognizable monsters,
who loves others never commits horrible acts of madness;
hey, do you love your neighbors? Hey, do you say, " Good Morning "
to them and wish them joy through the day with a happy feeling?

On asking ’who am I’ we recognise the screen of awareness upon which life plays. That’s not to say crime should go unpunished but just sayin’ ~ let’s look deeper
