Cruelty

Where does sheer cruelty come from? It engulfs the soul with its darkness, A malevolence that soon becomes A gripping force of wickedness. Beyond reason and human logic, A driving urge to harm and destroy- A diabolic condition that's so tragic: Corrupting the heart that it employs. Repulsive in every word and form Cruelty's a vile disease that claims It own possessor who eventually deforms Warped in a viciousness that maims. His own devastation and inner decay Spells a turmoil and nagging torment. A future dimmed, a life thrown away So cursed in its hellish predicament. All Rights Reserved ~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~07.24.14
