Plague that Humans Normalized


Animosity hidden in the eyes of clarity One craves success while a beauty crashes Jealousy peeking through bittersweet touches Empathy can never defeat irascibility While the predator wanders The prey gets blamed for being so tasty in the eyes of a killer The beauty was never meant to be a prey While the beast attacks whenever and however they may The wolves cry, "not all of us." While dressed like a sheep ready to harass They are entitled, marking themselves protectors. Yet they are the first to batter Misandry may hurt your ego and feelings Misogyny leads to raping and killings.
