Love, Rage, and Fear

Behold the three that rule and reign the delusions of the sane –
The haunted memories that govern thought — that lead to ruin, strife, and pain
View the bind with which it holds, view the terror it unfolds
View the foolishness of seeking that which life itself withholds
The curse of love destroys the soul — a demon that demands control
convincing all these broken pieces into seeking an imperfect whole.
A conflict with no resolution, love is, above all, a grand delusion
And if love is the Creator God, I fail to see its grandest vision.
The curse of rage is man’s design, forged in the fires of the divine
A freedom celebrated as we dangle from the vintner’s vine
Though we are never truly free, rage defines humanity
and thus described, it devours the fate of our society
Of all these curses I hold dear, I hold closest the curse of fear
The quiet guiding comfort that found me at an early year
In the darkness where I hide, fear is always by my side
Its ruling crown dictating choices that I reluctantly decide.
