What does it take to pinpoint
The emotion of love and get
It past you?
How is it that you uncongenialy
Antiquate us with malevolent,
And still live with no worries?
You've created such antipathy in
The human eyes
Now it's so much more opaque
Than it used to be
The lack of emotion is
Inestimable and sequestered
There here is very incredulous
Am I the only one that sees this?
Such ignominy has filled me
This world, these people
It is all just opprobrium
