Wit-torical Hatred

This is a contest about hate, but with a twist.
I want hate, anger, rage, angst, but anyone can fly off the handle and cuss out something they hate. That's not poetry.

I'm not saying you can't rant, by all means go ahead, but I want a rant with a purpose. I want intelligent hatred, biting wit, the driest sarcasm, etc.

It doesn't have to be funny, but if you can make it both hateful and witty, all the better.

Here's an example of the type of thing I'm looking for
http://allpoetry.com/poem/1963852

In summation I want you to write a poem of hatred and angst that expresses these things with intelligence, wit and a sense of poetic tact.

RULES
1. No StIcKy CaPs
2. Swearing is fine, but if you have one in every line it's probably excessive.
3. Considering that this is a contest about hatred I'm gonna say go ahead and bash other people's poems as long as you do so in the spirit of the contest. Just everyone remember that it's all in good fun, don't take offense.
4. Enter as many times as you want but ONLY ONE PRE-WRITE per person!

That's about it. Give me your rage, your spite, your hateful masses!

    At last your message came: “I do not care.”
    Not, “I don’t love you” – that at least I’d bear!
