SHOWER

 How you might take a shower everyday 

and expect it to cleanse your aura

But little do you know,

that the vicious ambience that surrounds you 

isn't an external echo

But is something that leaks out 

of your wretched spirit 

Yes, I call your nature callous

of how you spread your ferocious wrath everywhere 

Tormenting kind and soft souls 

and you still expect shower to cleanse your aura

My apologies, I may say 

But you;

who are unworthy of humble words

of how you gaslight and manipulate innocent thoughts 

and generate self-hate in soft souls 

Passionately creating mayhem without responsibility 

How you disguise yourself to be humane

Unaware of the malice leaking out,

leaving the stench of horror amidst soft souls 

NO SHOWER could ever cleanse 

the transgression you've committed.
