Equal

A festering pit of revengeful acid must have churned inside of your head
why did you look upon your fellow people and wished that they were dead,
when you stared at your reflection,
did you see a hateful man?
or a liberator of human lives freeing all he can.
what turned you in to this creature,
was the choice a conscious decision,
or were you visited by a devil, in a midnight apparition.
was everything you looked upon a victim in the making,
were all humans hanging on the grapevine of life,
ripening for the taking..
I would like to pose this question,
to a man that we all know,
except a bullet was his answer
many years ago
that man was not unique,
there have been many more that way
some may be far less brutal
yet the truth is that type will always stay.
They have a picture of utopia, embedded in their mind,
dictators, religious leaders
many more you will find,
they are power hungry leaches,
draining from us people,
yet if united we do stand,
we shall always be their equal.
