A Curse

As honesty has not been sought, and atonement left one-sided, 

As hands are washed of betrayal and lies,

The blood turning the water red, 

As the high road has been razed to dirt, 

And the low is the only path remaining, 

May all days forward lead to disappointment, 

All future connections sour with abuse and debasement,

May all love be false and empty,

And may the days end with pain equal to that which was inflicted. 

For belligerence, denial, and a lack of humanity reap their own kind.
