Enslaved

Enslaved

It churns, it thrives, within our souls

It burns, it strives, to console.

The hurt and pain that we create

In this hapless, ironic fate.

We laugh, we sneer, and we try

To make some writhe and others cry.

It is something that we welcome in tears

Of hope, revenge, and also fear.

It is viciously wild, surely not tame,

This luminous fire of emerald flame.

It is eternal, and ever innate

This unbridled feeling that we call hate.
