missing wings Poem, by Tristan Robert Lange, at My poetic side

hate is a strong word

but apathy stronger

for it absolutely

cares not to

hate any more

than it cares

to love;

it devours peace’s

dove wings—

but there is no

release,

for the tension

constructed,

built on horror’s hill,

is only an extension

of our souls obstructed—

isn’t our holy hell

such a god-

damned

thrill?
