**
Heart frozen inside
The cage of your despair,
You search the world for comfort,
But comfort from your hate
Isn't in you anywhere.
Only a sublime release,
A spewing of your hatred
Of all of mankind,
Can serve to ease the anger
Tied into your wretched mind.
You pierce each psyche
With the honed black glint of yours
And lead them down the lane
Where your words are waiting to
Strike them down again.
Mercilessly
You must take many minds,
To spew on with your venom.
Only one would not suffice.
Your desire to be the ultimate
Destruction
Is your vice.
You need your acts to be all
The world's attraction,
And you will be a popular fellow
As long as you continue to amuse
Those who thrive on you and
Your twisted imagination.

Hi Joyce, good piece my friend, pretty powerful write, with some control issues perhaps of hurtful actions.....sometimes people just dont realise or care sadly who they have affected.....For there is a saying it takes only seconds to say something but it can take years or sometimes a lifetime to heal.....Love and hugs,

I just dig poetic rants, especially if they are craftily witted!
Yeah, there's a wide chasm between criticism and cruelty, no matter the amount of self-deprecating drivel and dismissal included in someone's comments. Most excuses are just thin masks that the weak retreat behind.

applauds This sure as heck kicks his butt. Very intense piece here. Anger that was, in my opinion, justified and aimed at the right person!
This makes me think of someone who has hurt me, venom - stands out so strongly in my mind. Disturbing how I let someone poison me that way

well... I oughta kick his butt.... ugh.
fishy happy now....lol -
I have had someone on the site leaving some pretty rude comments on my poems. I am fine with criticism of my poetry, but not with criticism aimed at me personally. That was what he was doing to me and to other poets as well. This poem is how I feel about people who evidently enjoy spreading malice.

Hi
i just stopped by to read a couple of your poems because i havent ever before and i am very impressed. what a wonderful write. and very true of society today. why is it that we have to hurt others to make ourselves feel better? hum...good topic.
The world's attraction,
And you will be a popular fellow
