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.
