"Hate Machine"

"Hate Machine"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr. MD

I

The darkness is closing in on me

stifling , suffocating my ardent pleas

Here I sit alone and defenseless

All alone I wallow in this disease

II

I have chosen to be here

consumed by my hatred and fear

I cry my tears for no one to see

I shout out my lungs for no one to hear

III

I have become my fear

and I envelope those with me

A grenade exploded in the crowd

Spreading hate so loud

IV

No one hears the sound

Yet soon they would feel it

Gnawing at their insides

Not knowing what is inside

V

And they might notice that I am gone

For the gaping light that I have left

I hope that I have taken enough darkness

I hope they heard what I said...
