Every man who feels the need to release anger or frustration as a brutal assault, or any assault, onto another's choice that they make for themselves, only serves to reveal the frailty of their own self-confidence, how shallow that self-confidence is, how indoctrinated the mental state is to relying on another person's acknowledgement or consent to please the inner desires of the self. If a person cannot receive love, gratitude and contentment through personal selfhood, and must seek this things from outside, they become slaves to the desires that demand satisfaction from outside the self.

Your inner turmoil is your own insecurities feeding the hatred you inflict on others.

Foam tides in
On coastline’s setting moon,
White on white
Haze.
Glancing light,
Dancing ripples
Blinks the eye
On pipeline’s mini tubes
Splashing,
Shushing,
Whispers, trickles
 
Footsteps reached
Standing beach
Lying leech
Wordsmith’s boots
Teach to forget
Aching knee joints
Steel caps each new step
Where the water lets
 
Wells drained
And
Seats wet.

Are we all seen in bad light
To the unseen good,
Trustlessness quotes
From a dishonest build.

The book the world wrote,
So no honesty goes unpunished,
The struggle to survive,
Is the honest struggle to lie.
