Path to the Dark Side
I don’t understand why the world is in such chaos and frenzy
Such that I fear for the future of my children, my wife, my family
This fear is rapidly building up an anger inside me
Angry at everyone who speaks of justice to profit themselves selfishly
No, I am not angry at them, I HATE THEM VEHEMENTLY!
I hate them for destroying the world so efficiently
The leaders, conglomerates, and the so-called warriors of virtue
Have lead to suffering for me and millions of other small people too
I have nurtured this suffering to bloom into vengeance so very deep
My silence is thunderous, my secret plans are mine to keep
The King of Tyre, Jinn and Dajal are my friends, and God is my enemy
I have chosen the path to the dark side, consciously and eagerly
I am now strong and confident, coupled with a heart of stone
My passion to destroy others is firmly embedded in my flesh and bones
The sweet smell of stench and death makes me shout with glee
But somewhere in my lost soul, a faint soft voice cries out, "Help me!"
