Contempt
Misunderstood hate for self-obsession
Project weakness and inadequacy
Dark reflections impressing fear impossible to mask
Further the division that breeds our misery

How strange it is
For the conscious mind to turn the blind eye
For memories to fade into blurred hieroglyph
How quickly recalled are the implications of psychic violence
When the sword is turned on you

Speak in tongues of violence where words fail
Hate commands blood be shed

Reality distorted to reflect insecurity
Cycles of madness perpetuated by dishonest ends to justify the means
Silencing opposition
Flame to snuff flame
Choking life from oppression with an iron fist indiscriminate
Victory marked by tragedy
Irony of the scene lost on hopeless radicals

Pavement-shattered teeth and still bodies
Litter streets before the church and halls of justice
Motives forged by rationality dead
Informed by justifications anger spreads
Their voices left unheard
Behold the violence inherent in the system
