"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." -Gandhi


Take me back to my animalistic core.

Strip me of my humanity;
I don't want it anymore.

Undo these chains of identification.

Give me back my identity.

Erase these sins of oppressing
And these pains of oppression.

Kill the force that makes me

Self-preserving.

Release me from this unspoken
Unwritten

Oath

I made to society.

Unbound me from the

Unearned

Undeserved

Sacrifice
I made to be

Socially Accepted.

Return the loyalty
I took away from my

Morality.

My intelligence.

My own instinct.

And deliver my brethren
Who now fall slave to the tyranny
Of the fragile hierarchy
of a Conformist's word.

Before we become

Extinct.

I'd like to feed this world a plague
And watch it die slowly in pain.

They say an eye for an eye
Makes the world go blind.

But they also say
Ignorance is bliss.
And after walking through all of this

I don't think I'd mind.
