Am I Genocide
Have I sought to destroy in part or in whole
Have I sought to give and take one's soul
Have I made myself what I might mistakenly hate
Have I tripped on tradition or just fell for the bait
Have I tricked myself of sincere intentions
Only to spread genocidal fears & tensions
I have inflated my faults in efforts to hide
Some darkness I refuse to admit is inside
Have I seen the truth having never been shown
Only because I'm cut from the very same stone
How is it done without even thinking
This is hell and I'm content to be casually sinking
