I Am Hate

 




I conquered the world

killed off the dinosaurs

Neantherthals

the Hobits, the Asians

the Indo-Europeans

I silenced women

burned them at the stake

I owned the uterus

displayed breasts on a plate

killed the spirit

crushed the dreams

the artists and flutists

I took in the worship

claimed it for myself

cut out tongues 

murdered babies and children

silenced the dawn when I starved the world

of trees and leaves and flowers

when I flooded the fields with oil

built banks with no money

everything destroyed in jealousy

only I shall be worshipped


it has taken millions of years

to achieve and now everything belongs 

to me!
