Bully
.
Softly, slowly drawing strength,
Relying wholly on weakness seen,
Parasites steal the light,
Leaving only darkness after
Taking joy from others’ laughter,
Growing bigger, stronger, harder.
.
Cruelty, malice, hatred, spite
Flourish, but well out of sight,
Cunning, crafty as a fox,
Hiding under pleasantries
But dishing out his penalties,
Remedies for frailties.

Insanity
.
Is insanity contagious
When behaviour is outrageous
Humanity has exited
And adrenalin is now
The drug of choice
Freely available
To all who are unable
To contain their hu- (a-)nger
Addicts all who need
Gratification in an instant
Satisfaction in the moment
Boasting bloodlust
Cruelty and destruction
Of animal existence
And when that is not sufficient
Turning on their own
Driven higher and higher
Until they im- or ex-plode
While dancing on the edge of death
.
Give me instead
The wild countryside
Sweet-smelling grasses
Unsullied waters
Peace and tranquillity
Kindness and harmony
The way to truly survive
This rat-race called life
