We wish for the depraved

To become subjected

To the pain and suffering

Of their own depravity

—

The wild-eyed hatred

Disconnected from self

Deeply rooted and tethered

In the bewildering shame

—

The pain that was “ours”

Is transferred to “theirs”

The anger we plant

Darkens our existence

—

The path is cyclical

The suffering real

What is the lesson

In a distorted reality?

—

Searching for meaning

But without justice

Pleading for a reason

Without prayers for redemption

—

Eternal loneliness

Is all that exists

When choosing to repeat

The shattering of spirits

—

Entangled humanity

In perceived separation

Can only find healing

Upon total absolution
