In your hands.

Such shivers you bring to me,
Such bad memories I see,
But when you look into these eyes,
Tell me, who do you Believe?
With hands of filth and blood,
And touch that is so cold,
Why belive the young over the old?

    I'm not sure if the lack of capitalisation in the first half of the poem was deliberate or not, but if it was I don't think I quite understand its meaning. Also, there's a typo in the last line.

    All that aside, I thought there was a power in the last three lines. You demand that people look at themselves and at what the poem is saying. Lovely to see such strength.

    Thank you
