The Hate of the Collective Mind


Seeping  into your mind from society.

It courses through your veins like poison,

rotting you from the inside out.

Your mind becomes a perpetual prison

enslaved by your thoughts, you have no clout

against the haze invading your mind

and clouding your judgement.

Yourself or others, no one kind

is safe from the endless debasement

of the collective mentality.

And as a combined power no one can overcome,

all will fear uniqueness and frailty.

Feeding it, our own minds from,

the bloodshed will it never triumph.
