= A Saddened Race =

we are but the lifeless figures of our own lifeless destinies
fates not preordained but tainted by reality
a world that cannot pretend to feel joy
only burrowing deeper into the hatred that wraps it tight
it does not escape with screaming terror and fear
but loves it, is kept warm inside by this
there is a lifeless quality about life
and that saddens
