Book I: Through Darkness and Thorns
Chapter I: Wrapped Around Rage


Hatred

Who’s to pay at the end of the day
For the cruelty and pain
That obliterated all sunshine or rain?

Unforgiveness, the judgement, children’s innocent illusion
The apparent unreality and impossible resolution.

Who’s to pay?

Who’s to pay at the end of the day
For the bitterness and sadness
The overwhelming madness?

T.
