Contempt

Your eyes burn with false soul, glittering hollow
And your mind churning black hole furnace for ego
And your heart greedy
Clutching at morsels of power, your fists clenched but still weak
Pretending to lead as you follow
A new lie spills out blithely each breath that you swallow
Afflicted with self doubt
Childlike, craven and callow you hang
Twisted on shame
Shame
You never learned what it means to be a man
You never learned what it means to be a man
Fraud in the vestments of father
You’re not a shaman at all
Your eyes burn with false soul, glittering hollow
And your mind churning black hole furnace for ego
And your hate roots deep
Rots inside
And your face betrays just what you try to hide---
The depth of your folly and shame
