The dark side takes its toll
Intimidating the losers and the paranoid
All ready to sell their souls to the devil
Ready to lose all sense of right and wrong

Hunger for power at rise
All competing desperately,
Aware of the respect fear demands
But not realizing that they’ve lost
The essential humanity –they’re numb

No clarity of thought left, just emptiness
Devoid of all emotions, hollow inside
No more blood gushing through their veins-only effluents
Finding solace in death and loss is their tourniquet

Coveting a chimera-a life free of tension and need
They inflict pain; create anarchy, thinking it’ll heal their wounds
But ultimately the truth remains-unchallenged through time
Leading an anathematized life—
Is no deal at all.
