It has no name, no face
Yet tis one I know well
For its venomous hate traces
Wounds so fell
Across its victims when it befalls me
It rises without warning, drowning out
My reason and morality
And with my lips it raises a shout
That curdles my blood, but for now tis not mine,
The beast has taken control, it has not remorse
It comes to aid in the fight
It lingers to allow the blind to force
The distasteful out of Eden as they see fit
For they misread the new scripture and translate how they wish
To see the world. They wish to prune the tree
And make it tall and slender, without care that
Buds and seeds are felled in their pursuit
Of perverted perfection that
Leaves only the over-ripe fruit
