Imperfection


You are scum

You are worthless

You are nothing but an incapable,

Insufficient machine

 

You are limp and fragile

You’ve never accomplished anything

You’re either too lazy or too stupid

And you're blinded by your own infatuation

 

You are an slut for power

You credit yourself as superior

A flawless being

But really we’re all just the same

 

Every one of us is filled with an insatiable greed
That defines and controls us
It brings forth our inner desires
And poisons us down to our very dreams

 

We’re corrupt

We feed off the pain of others

We stray from responsibility

Away from the gravitation of trust

 

We put on a mask

An artificial visage of transcendence

But we are just a sack of tissue and bones

With an incompetent mind and a malevolent soul

 

People are disgusting

Foul, unlawful, abominable creatures

Careless, lopsided, defective, gullible

Oppressive, heinous, immoral

 

I am wicked

I am evil

I am most imperfect

I am human
