The Slow Destruction of Man

Yours is the light that always shines
Mine is the darkness eternally blind
Yours is the love that radiates joy
Mine is self-loathing the little lost boy

Yours is contentment gratitude and grace
Mine is resentment of the human race
Yours is the dream that never fades away
Mine is the scream I hear every day

Yours is the faith the trust the belief
Mine is the cynical pessimistic thief
Yours is compassion beauty and charm
Mine is confusion anger and self-harm

Yours is the miracle the wonder of life
Mine is the torture the pain and the strife
Yours is the journey not a means to an end
Mine is unworthy unable to mend

Yours is alignment with nature and god
Mine is destruction an arrogant sod
Yours is the blessing the whole the divine
Mine is depressing the fat greedy swine

Yours is all death the end of the line
Mine is all death what’s yours is mine
